President Trump stated on January 15, 2026, that reliable sources informed him Iran has stopped killing protesters and canceled planned executions, easing immediate crisis fears after over 2,500 reported deaths in 17 days of unrest. Iran's Foreign Minister claimed no hangings are scheduled and the situation remains under control, following a 5.5-hour airspace closure through NOTAM that has since reopened.
