Trump 'praises' Iran for halting 800 executions amid fading protests and US threats

US President Donald Trump unexpectedly commended the Iranian regime on Friday (January 16) for cancelling the scheduled hangings of over 800 people, signalling a potential de-escalation in tensions as nationwide protests appear to subside. Speaking to reporters on the White House South Lawn before departing for his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump expressed "great respect" for the decision, which he said had a "big impact." This comes after days of warnings from Trump about possible US military intervention if the crackdown intensified.
