Trump Urges Iran To Release Women Facing Execution Ahead Of Talks

President Donald Trump called on Iran’s leadership to release a group of women reportedly facing execution, framing the move as a potential gesture of goodwill ahead of upcoming negotiations.

In a public message, Trump urged Iranian officials to spare the women, saying their release would be a positive step as diplomatic talks with U.S. representatives are set to resume.

The appeal follows reports circulated by activist Eyal Yakoby alleging that eight women are at risk of being executed by the Iranian regime. The claims included references to several individuals accused of involvement in anti-government protests.

Among those identified was Bita Hemmati, who was reportedly arrested during demonstrations earlier this year and accused by authorities of offenses tied to national security. Others named in the reports include Diana Taherabadi, Mahboubeh Shabani, and Kurdish activist Ensieh Nejati, all allegedly detained in connection with protest activity.

Iranian authorities have not publicly confirmed details about the cases cited in the reports, and some information remains unverified.

Human rights organizations have long raised concerns about Iran’s judicial system, accusing the government of conducting unfair trials and issuing harsh punishments against political dissidents and protest participants.

Groups such as the National Council of Resistance of Iran and the Human Rights Activists News Agency have reported large-scale arrests and executions tied to recent unrest, though figures are often difficult to independently confirm.

The development comes as the U.S. and Iran prepare for another round of negotiations aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict and broader geopolitical tensions. Trump’s statement suggests the administration is seeking early confidence-building measures as talks approach.
