U.S. President Donald Trump says he "really appreciates" that the Iranian regime has temporarily halted executions.

Trump's remarks come days after he issued a warning to Iran if it retaliates for the executions of protesters.

Iran has suspended the hangings of over 800 people, Trump said as he left the White House in Washington for a weekend at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

The Iranian regime has brutally cracked down on nationwide protests, sentencing a number of protesters to death. The number of people killed by Iranian security forces during the protests, and the number arrested, has not been independently verified.
