US President Donald Trump has toned down his comments on intervening in Iran's crackdown on anti-government protests, following a recent surge of violent killings by security forces.
According to sources close to the White House, Mr. Trump had been informed that the number of deaths in Tehran was decreasing and that there were no plans for large-scale executions being carried out. The news appears to have shifted his stance from one of strong action to a more cautious approach.
In recent days, President Trump had threatened to launch a military operation against Iran over its handling of anti-government protests. However, it seems that this rhetoric has been tempered, with the US leader opting for a wait-and-see attitude.
While the White House did not issue any further comment on the situation, Mr. Trump's softer tone suggests that he is willing to delay any potential military intervention in order to assess the situation further. The exact timing and scope of any future action remain unclear, but it appears that President Trump has shifted his approach from a hardline stance to a more measured one.
