President Donald Trump on April 21 called for the Iranian regime to release eight women who are allegedly set to be executed as negotiations between Tehran and Washington were scheduled for the same day.

“To the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. I am sure that they will respect the fact that you did so,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
