The United States has claimed that Iran has suspended the death sentences of nearly 800 protesters. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt made the statement on Thursday, saying President Donald Trump’s administration is closely monitoring the situation in Iran. According to Levitt, the president has been informed that 800 executions have been halted, and all options remain open regarding the U.S. response.

The protests in Iran began on December 28 in response to the falling value of the Iranian rial and rising living costs, later evolving into anti-government demonstrations. President Trump has openly expressed support for the protesters and warned of possible tough measures against Tehran.

The White House’s remarks highlight Washington’s continued scrutiny of Iran’s internal unrest and signal potential diplomatic or policy actions depending on future developments.
