Iran's top prosecutor on Friday rejected a recent announcement by President Donald Trump that Iran had canceled more than 800 executions, claiming the president's comments are "completely false."
Trump wrote on Truth Social last week: "I greatly respect the fact that all of the planned hangings, which were to take place (over 800), have been canceled by the leadership of Iran. Thank you!"
However, Iran's chief prosecutor, Mohammad Movahedi, said on Friday that, "this claim is completely false; there is no such number, nor has the judiciary made any such decision," according to the Associated Press.
"We have a separation of powers, the responsibilities of each institution are clearly defined, and we do not, under any circumstances, take instructions from foreign powers," Movahedi said in comments published by the Iranian judiciary's Mizan news agency.
When asked about his reaction on Friday, a White House official told Fox News Digital that Trump is monitoring the situation in Iran very seriously and that all options remain available if the regime in Tehran executes protesters.
The official added that after Trump's warnings to Iran, demonstrators who were scheduled to be sentenced to death did not show up there.
The White House official also said that Trump believes this is good news and hopes this trend continues.
