According to Channel 12 in Israel, there is a new peace deal under discussion. Iran agrees to a 15-year suspension of enrichment, except for research reactors producing medical isotopes. Iran’s stockpile of 60% and 20% uranium would be partially converted to reactor fuel, and partially ‘down-blended’ to a lower enrichment level. However, it won’t leave Iran. Full IAEA supervision on Iran’s nuclear sites. Opening the Strait of Hormuz, with the possibility of collecting tolls. The U.S. will; offer Iran phased sanctions relief. unfreeze all Iranian assets currently frozen abroad, amounting to $20 Billion or more. commit to a non-aggression pact with Iran, ensured by a UN Security Council resolution and a treaty ratified by Congress. withdraw all its military forces from the Persian Gulf. This has not been agreed to yet, and I doubt they will. This is the outline currently under discussion between the United States and Iran. I am sharing this with caution, as it hasn’t been agreed upon yet, but based on recent developments, these are the points they have been discussing: A 15-year suspension of uranium enrichment.

IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi has reportedly seized control of Iran’s military and political decision-making. The Institute for the Study of War reports that IRGC Commander Major General Ahmad Vahidi and his inner circle have secured at least temporary control over Iran’s military response and its political decision-making. This confirms what the world watched in real time. Foreign Minister Araghchi announced the Strait was open, and Vahidi canceled it. He fired on oil tankers and called Araghchi an “idiot” on state media. The diplomats have been sidelined. The IRGC is running the show. And Vahidi is now the one making calls on war and peace. A wanted terrorist is running the country, and there never was a civilian government. Ahmad Vahidi is a bad actor. He is wanted for terrorism around the world. IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi The current murder-suicidal death spiral by the IRGC is his deliberate policy. He was reportedly killed but was appointed in charge of the IRGC. Allegedly, he is calling the shots, and is obviously not dead. As the commander of the regime’s primary military and ideological body, Vahidi is not only directing war efforts but also central to maintaining internal coercion. He is the IRGC thug who has brutalized the people. The EU imposed parallel sanctions in 2022 for the use of live ammunition and the arbitrary detention of protesters and journalists. He was sanctioned by Washington and the EU. INTERPOL has a red notice on him for his role in the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina that killed 85 people. A Quds Force commander from 1988 to 1998, he is also linked to the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that killed 241 U.S. service members, the 1996 Khobar Towers attack, and a 2008 embassy attack in Yemen.

Up to 2 million FBI records were found in a secret room at the FBI. Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch uncovered the information. The records date back to the Comey era, and most are anti-Trump records in burn bags. Tom Fitton hasn’t gotten the records despite a lawsuit, but he did get some general information. The FBI said it would take a year to go through the records. Having FBI records in burn bags is very unusual, and no one has said who put them there or why they weren’t burned. This should be criminally investigated. Pam Bondi wasted a year. It seems that agencies can’t investigate themselves. It is a priority to expose these lawfare documents. A couple weeks ago, Donald Trump didn’t even know about this.

President Trump says the US seized Iran’s ‘TOUSKA’ cargo ship after it tried to pass through the naval blockade. “We have full custody of the ship and are seeing what’s on board.” The U.S. fired at the cargo ship, blowing a hole in the engine room. “U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel.” “An Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our naval blockade, and it did not go well for them. The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen.” “The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury sanctions because of its prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship and are seeing what’s on board! President DONALD J. TRUMP” HOLY CRAP! The US military FIRED at an Iranian cargo ship trying to get around President Trump’s blockade and SEIZED IT “The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by BLOWING A HOLE IN THE ENGINE ROOM.” “U S Marines have… pic.twitter.com/3uyRf5N6l7 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) April 19, 2026 The post U.S. Blows a Hole in a Sanctioned Iranian Cargo Ship & Seizes it appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The IRGC won’t give up. According to Middle Eastern correspondent Ariel Oseran, quoting a Tasnim News report, Iran’s negotiators declared they won’t even show up in Islamabad. Iran will not send a negotiating team to Islamabad while the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports continues and no negotiations will take place, the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News reports. Meanwhile, the exchange of messages between the sides is ongoing. — Ariel Oseran أريئل أوسيران (@ariel_oseran) April 19, 2026 Iran will not send a negotiating team to Islamabad while the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports continues and no negotiations will take place, the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News reports. Meanwhile, the exchange of messages between the sides is ongoing. Trump ending the blockade while Iran pointedly retains control of the Strait of Hormuz would be a major loss of face for the U.S. and would fly in the face of President Trump’s assertion that the war is being brought to a successful conclusion. Odds now are war mid-week. It’s a mystery why President Trump thought they would negotiate. They are hardened ideologues, fanatics. President Trump said he had no choice but to preemptively attack because they present an existential threat to the world. Iranian terrorists were allowed to get too powerful. Former Presidents Obama and Biden allowed them to have the money to fund their underground arsenals. This is the last we heard from the foreign minister two days ago. In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran. — Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) April 17, 2026 As we reported, MB Ghalibaf, one of the negotiators, said they will not have an agreement with the United States. He accused President Trump of lying. The post Iran Might Not Show Up in Islamabad for Talks appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.
