President Trump announced the United States and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement, suspending a planned attack for two weeks. “Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution,” he continued. Full post below: Axios has more: Iran has not publicly confirmed its acceptance of the plan, but Trump wrote that there would be a “double sided ceasefire.” There have been discussions through mediators about potential in-person negotiations, likely to be led by Vice President Vance, though nothing has been announced. The announcement comes less than 12 hours after Trump threatened to wipe out Iran’s entire “civilization.” More specifically, he threatened bridges, power plants and potentially oil and water infrastructure. Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran picked up momentum over the past 24 hours, as Axios reported, with Pakistan serving as the primary mediator. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and political allies like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) had urged Trump to reject any proposal unless Iran made major concessions. Israel reportedly also agreed to the two-week ceasefire.

To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks,” Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote earlier on X. “Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region,” he continued.

He said last week that the war would not cease until the strait was reopened to traffic, adding that the U.S. would be “blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!” until then. Despite his escalating threats, Trump insisted on Monday that Iranian officials were “negotiating, I think, in good faith” with the U.S., although he did not specify who the U.S. was negotiating with.

Tremendous news to announce in terms of the brand new anti-Fraud unit within the DOJ. They are not wasting any time, and we just learned today from Acting-Director Todd Blanche that they’ve already secured guilty pleas and sentences that exceed $500 million in fraud: HOLY CRAP!

I’m not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to Tucker Carlson just yet…. He has done a lot of good over the years and I’m with him on many issues. But lately he seems to be so zealous in his positions that he is pushing the limits on what’s true and what’s not. Like this one from today where he criticized President Trump for not being sworn in on a Bible, saying “this should’ve been a clue”. Story here in case you missed it: Tucker Carlson Calls Out President Trump For Not Taking Oath On The Bible: “This Should’ve Been A Clue” Sorry Tucker, but I have to call you out on that horrible take. I covered this live when it happened and I debunked it back then and I’ll debunk it now. President Trump had his priceless family heirloom Bible present and ready to be used for the very special swearing in service, but Justice Roberts began the ceremony so quickly that Melania didn’t have time to get in place and it started without her. That’s it. That’s the end of the conspiracy. So enough with the insinuation that he did it on purpose to avoid the Bible, that’s simply not true. Come on Tucker, you’re better than this….or at least you should be. My full report from January 2025: So….Why Didn’t President Trump Place His Hand On The Bible? New Explanation Emerges! Yesterday, I really stirred up a lot of trouble…and I wasn’t even trying! Usually I can predict when I’m going to stir up some controversy, like when I tell the Catholics they should really stop Praying to Mary, or when I tell the Freemasons that they’re a Luciferian organization. Those are instant angry hornet nests when you rattle those cages. But yesterday I was merely covering the news and I reported factually that President Trump did not place his hand on the Bibles when he was sworn in: JUST IN: President Trump Does NOT Place His Hand On The Bible While Taking The Oath of Office! I didn’t place a value judgment on it, and I offered four plausible reasons why that might have happened. But boy oh boy did my email inbox get flooded with messages! Some hate mail… Some comments…. Some theories…. Some telling me I was wrong and that he did put his hand on the Bible…. It really ran the gamut. In fact, I’ll show you a few. This was perhaps the most common comment, telling me that it was John Roberts fault because he “started early”: Fair enough, although I’m not sure how “starting early” prevents President Trump from moving his hand. The pictures and video do show Melania standing right there holding the two Bibles so it’s not as if she missed the whole thing. This one from Nelson (last name withheld for privacy) had the same basic comment but he was very angry: Gee, I thought I did report the truth, didn’t I? The truth is, he did not place his hand on the Bible during the swearing in. You may not like that, you might be offended by that, it might be throwing you into some severe cognitive dissonance, but that is factually what happened. It’s also very newsworthy, so that’s why we reported it. Dennis (last name withheld) said it was “BS” and then told me to “get off my high horse”: See? So much hate for merely reporting factually on what happened, I really did not expect this! Thomas (last name withheld) said he will “never read another article from my site” unless I correct the record: It’s a bit unclear what record we need to correct because we reported accurately about what happened, but in any event Thomas (whoever you are) is no longer a reader apparently and we will miss him dearly. RIP Thomas. Others sent me James 5:12 which reads:  “12′ But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your “Yes” mean “Yes” and your “No” mean “No,” that you may not incur condemnation.” Fair enough on that one as well, but it’s interesting and a bit confusing why he would use the Bibles in 2016 but not in 2024. I don’t always have all the answers, but I do know when something is interesting and this story is interesting! Perhaps in his newfound faith President Trump made a conscious decision due to James 5:12 to not place his hand on the Bible? I think that’s probably unlikely, but maybe so! Karen (last name withheld for privacy) perhaps had the most novel theory of all, sending me this: Points for creativity on that, but I have looked at every video and picture and I do not see President Trump getting “one finger” on the Bible. The cognitive dissonance ran deep with this story, oh my! I appreciate all the comments and passion, I really do, but do you mean to tell me the most powerful man in the world get a sliver of one finger on the Bible and then was just so paralyzed by the moment that he couldn’t readjust to get his whole hand on there?  Again because Roberts started early? Really? I’m sorry but that doesn’t “pass the smell test” as we sometimes say. Ok, so now I want to end with something I came across today that I thought was really good. Credit to my friend DOTR for posting this where I first saw it and credit to the creator of the video Destiny Rezendes on X. I think this is a great video with a new angle no one has considered yet…. I also note that she confirms two things early in the video that might be instructive for those of you who sent me so much hate mail: (1) she confirms that no, he did not put his hand on the Bible.  Not a finger.  Not a thumb.  Not a sliver of a fingernail.  It didn’t happen.  (2) she talks about being “emotionally compromised by information” yesterday and I think that’s what happened to so many people who emailed me in a tizzy telling me they will never read another article if I don’t immediately correct the record!  What Destiny did was much wiser….she stopped, collected herself, and looked at it rationally the next day, digging in and doing some research. And here’s what she found: “Trump didn’t put his hand on the Bible!”Inauguration Decoded pic.twitter.com/smKRgyyY5K — Destiny Rezendes (@dezzie_rezzie) January 21, 2025 Full video player here if needed: “Trump didn’t put his hand on the Bible!”

President Trump’s sense of humor was on full display on Monday, joking that he would “quickly” learn Spanish and run for president of Venezuela. “I’m polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I’m finished with this, I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish,” Trump said. “It won’t take too long. I’m good at language, and I will go to Venezuela. I’m going to run for president,” he continued. Watch below: Trump: I'm polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this, I can go to Venezuela.

I'm going to run for president. pic.twitter.com/YlFJDlQxjG — Acyn (@Acyn) April 6, 2026 Fox News shared further: Trump described the prospect as a “wonderful option” for him. While Trump boasted his “good” language skills at Monday’s press conference, last month he told Latin American leaders at the inaugural Shield of the Americas Summit that he would not learn a new language. During his address, Trump praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who, as the son of Cuban immigrants, speaks fluent Spanish. “He’s got a language advantage over me, ‘cause I’m not learning your damn language,” Trump said. “I don’t have time. I was okay with languages but I’m not gonna spend time learning your language. That much I won’t do.” According to the Associated Press, Delcy Rodríguez will remain Venezuela’s acting president, which exceeds the 90-day limit set by the country’s high court for her temporary role. “We value the decision of President @realDonaldTrump as a step in the direction of normalization and strengthening of relations between our countries. We trust that this progress will enable the lifting of the sanctions currently in place on our country, that it will enable the building and ensure an effective binational cooperation agenda for the benefit of our peoples. Let us continue advancing in the construction of a prosperous Venezuela for all!” she said earlier this month. garantizar una agenda de cooperación binacional efectiva en beneficio de nuestros pueblos. ¡Sigamos avanzando en la construcción de una Venezuela próspera para todos! — Delcy Rodríguez (@delcyrodriguezv) April 1, 2026 More from the Associated Press: According to the court order, Maduro is still officially Venezuela’s president and his “forced” absence resulting from a “kidnapping” makes it temporarily impossible for him to fulfill his duties. Under Venezuela’s constitution, according to an article referenced by the court, temporary absences are to be filled by the vice president — which was Rodríguez’s former role — for up to 90 days. These interim appointments can be extended by the national assembly for an additional 90 days. The National Assembly, controlled by Rodríguez’s party, can trigger a snap election if lawmakers declare the post permanently vacant. The government’s press office did not respond to requests for comment. Ronal Rodríguez, a researcher at the Venezuela Observatory in Colombia’s Universidad del Rosario, said the government, particularly after Maduro took office in 2013, has previously used legal interpretations to remain in power.
