Trump Claims 'Killings' in Iran Have Stopped, But Doesn't Rule Out Military Action

President Trump stated that 'killings' in Iran have stopped following the suppression of protests, but did not rule out the possibility of US military intervention. According to Trump, sources from Iran informed him that planned executions of protesters did not take place. Simultaneously, the US is withdrawing personnel from key bases in the Middle East as a precautionary measure. The Iranian Foreign Minister stated there is no plan to hang protesters, while the NGO Iran Human Rights reports at least 3,428 protesters have been killed and over 10,000 arrested. The UN Security Council is scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss the situation in Iran.
