US warns Iran that ‘all options are on the table’ in emergency UN meeting
The U.S. led the UN Security Council to discuss Iran's crackdown on protests that activists say have killed over 2,600 people and announced sanctions on Iranian officials.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump thanked Iran after Tehran reportedly called off scheduled hangings of over 800 political prisoners, saying on Truth Social he 'greatly respect' the decision.
- President Donald Trump had publicly threatened intervention and used social posts to pressure Tehran, repeating warnings and canceling meetings while threatening a 25% tariff.
- Trump said a credible source told him the killings had stopped, which he cited for pausing intervention, and he told reporters at the White House, `Nobody convinced me-- I convinced myself`.
- Prospects for U.S. military action dimmed after Iran held off on executions, as President Donald Trump praised Tehran and signaled he was backing away from earlier threats this month.
- Beyond the cancelled hangings, protests since Dec. 28 have left thousands dead, with 2,797 reported by the Human Rights Activists News Agency and extensive damage across Iran, including 350 mosques, 126 prayer halls, and 400 hospitals.
