U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly taken a cautious approach as indications emerge that the Iranian regime's crackdown on protests may be easing. Initially threatening intervention, Trump cited confidential sources confirming a reduction in violence and suggested there was no imminent plan for large-scale executions.

Iranian state media reported on Thursday that a protester, initially sentenced to death, will not face execution. This development comes after the rights group Hengaw highlighted the protester's case. Trump's reaction via social media expressed hope for continued restraint from Iranian authorities.

The global market responded to these developments, with oil prices declining and gold retreating from record highs. Meanwhile, international diplomatic communications intensified with regional players discussing the maintenance of security and stability amid ongoing tensions.
