US President Donald Trump said he had made his own decision not to launch military strikes on Iran , citing Tehran’s alleged cancellation of hundreds of planned executions as a decisive factor in his decision.

This was reported by RFL, reports Censor.NET .

“Nobody convinced me. I convinced myself,” Trump told reporters at the White House on January 16 when asked if Arab and Israeli officials had convinced him to call off the strikes.

“Yesterday, there were over 800 executions scheduled by hanging. They didn’t hang anyone. They canceled the executions. It had a big impact,” Trump said.
