Washington: US President Donald Trump has urged Iran to halt the reported execution of eight women, framing the request as a humanitarian gesture ahead of potential diplomatic talks.
In a public statement, Trump called on Iranian authorities to show restraint and suggested that such a move could help build goodwill as both sides consider resuming negotiations.
Trump’s Ultimatum: Make a Deal or Face Bombardment Again; Pressure Mounts on Iran
The appeal comes at a time when discussions between Washington and Tehran are expected, possibly in Islamabad. The US has indicated readiness to engage, with senior officials expected to participate in any future dialogue.
However, uncertainty remains over Iran’s participation, as Tehran has set conditions including the removal of US-imposed maritime restrictions.
Trump’s statement was based on claims circulating on social media that eight women are facing execution in Iran. The information, which included images but no confirmed identities, has not been independently verified.
Despite the lack of confirmation, the appeal highlights growing concern over human rights issues amid the broader geopolitical standoff.
The humanitarian appeal coincides with an approaching deadline for the ongoing ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The truce, which was established following earlier hostilities, is set to expire soon, adding urgency to diplomatic efforts.
Trump has previously expressed scepticism about extending the ceasefire, indicating that failure to reach an agreement could lead to renewed military action.

Relations between the two countries remain strained, with both sides exchanging warnings over potential escalation. The United States has maintained pressure through strategic measures, while Iran has signalled readiness to respond to any perceived aggression.
Pakistan, which is expected to host possible talks, has stepped up security arrangements in anticipation of high-level engagements.
As the situation evolves, the combination of humanitarian appeals and strategic negotiations underscores the complexity of the current standoff, with outcomes likely to have broader regional implications.
