On August 25, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump condemned Iran's execution of protesters, calling it a 'humanitarian crisis of epic proportions' that must be stopped. The White House warned of a wave of executions in Tehran, noting that Iran kills protesters more than ever. Trump expressed anger over the increasing number of death sentences in Iran for people allegedly involved in historical mass protests at the beginning of the year, before the war started. Tehran's actions have drawn international condemnation, with 32 countries issuing a joint statement condemning Iran's use of executions to silence dissent. However, some outlets, such as The Hindu and Lithuanian National Radio and Television, did not mention this joint statement. Arab News and Al Arabiya only repeated the headline without additional content. Euronews reported that Trump stated Tehran could no longer pay large segments of its military and was facing a 'humanitarian crisis of epic proportions,' following the joint statement.
