Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced<br \/>\n to one month in prison. I very much appreciate that Iran, and its<br \/>\nleaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and<br \/>\nterminated the planned execution.

TRUMP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The thing is, it&#8217;s been reported that the women were never facing any kind of death sentence. Oslo-based Iran Human Rights reported yesterday that two of the women were out on bail already.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s also responded to Trump&#8217;s post, saying some of the women have<br \/>\nalready been released without naming them. It said none of them faced the<br \/>\n death sentence.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough to understand what&#8217;s going on here, whether someone bamboozled him on Truth Social or he was trying to stitch something together to claim a win, some kind of diplomacy meant to make Iran look merciful or something else.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the market is taking it as good news and I think that&#8217;s the right take. If Trump&#8217;s happy, then the market is happy.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a bit of a bizarre saga.
