President Donald Trump has expressed confidence that Tehran has no intention of executing protesters amidst growing unrest in Iran. Speaking from the White House, he stated that reports suggest the killing in Iran has ceased, though he has not ruled out potential military action against the country due to its crackdown on anti-government demonstrators.

Recent developments include the US and UK reducing personnel at the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar and a temporary closure of the British embassy in Tehran. Iranian airspace was closed for five hours, leading several airlines to reroute flights. This precaution follows the news that a young man, Erfan Soltani, sentenced to death, had his execution postponed, raising alarms about the potential for further violence.

Trump's comments came amid uncertainties regarding Iranian opposition figures and the general state of unrest that has seen thousands of protesters killed. The Iranian government imposed an internet blackout, complicating information flow and verification. As international tension escalates, various nations have advised their citizens to evacuate Iran and avoid its airspace.
