Three US officials say that Trump's aides and advisers considered but decided against a national televised address by Trump on his ceasefire deal with Iran, with some concern about potentially overselling the agreement. Trump was "adamant" about giving the speech - Reuters

Is Trump having a stroke? I am so confused.
How can anyone go from 'we are going to end your civilization' to :
Please tell us your demands master, so that we may carry them out. We live to serve you!

I hope this is all just typical internet trash.

It’s now been 42 days since the Iranian Regime cut the internet to over 90 million Iranians.

There has not been a single word of condemnation from any so-called human rights organizations.

Weird.

Saudi Arabia, Iran Hold First Direct Talks Since Conflict Began

Trending Politics News
By Cullen McCue
April 10, 2026



audi Arabia and Iran have initiated their first official high-level contact since the US-Israel conflict against Iran began on February 28.

On Thursday, April 9, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan received a phone call from his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi. According to a statement from the Saudi Foreign Ministry, this marked the first publicly announced direct communication between the two sides since Iran launched retaliatory strikes against Gulf neighbors, including Saudi Arabia, since hostilities erupted.

“The call focused on reviewing developments in the situation and ways to slow the pace of tensions so as to help restore security and stability in the region,” a Saudi government spokesman said of the discussion. No separate detailed statement from the Iranian side has been released regarding the content of the call, though Iranian officials have confirmed the discussion covered bilateral relations and regional developments.

Thursday’s conversation follows reports from early March indicating that Saudi officials had intensified diplomatic back-channel engagement with Iran to contain the broader regional conflict. Those earlier interactions, involving security and diplomatic officials, were described by European sources as urgent efforts to prevent escalation and protect economic interests, including energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf.

The timing coincides with a separate two-week ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, which was mediated by Pakistan and took effect on April 8.

Trump confident Strait of Hormuz will reopen, citing degraded Iranian military



An infographic titled "First ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz after the USâ"Iran ceasefire" created in Ankara, Turkiye on April 8, 2026. (Photo by Elif Acar/Anadolu via Getty Images)

President Donald Trump said he doesn’t need a backup plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pointing to Iranian military losses.

“You don’t need a backup plan,” Trump said. “Their military is defeated. Their military is gone. We’ve degraded just about everything. They have very few missiles. They have little manufacturing capability. We’ve hit them hard.”

He noted that the main goal of a deal with Tehran is the prevention of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon.

“I think it’s already been regime change, but we never had that as a criterion,” he said. “No nuclear weapons. That’s 99% of it.”

Trump said he was confident the strait will open up to commercial shipping traffic.

“If we just left, the straits are going to [open]; otherwise, they make no money. So the strait is going to open,” he said.

Sanctioned tanker reportedly anchors near Indian port with Iranian oil

A sanction tanker carrying Iranian oil was anchored Friday near an Indian port.

The U.S. sanctioned vessel, identified as Jaya, has been linked to so-called “identity-switching," a practice used by tankers to evade sanctions, Iran International reported, citing industry reports.

The ship was set to deliver the first Iranian crude oil to India since 2019.

This a joke.  The Iranians literally got the red carpet treatment, flowers, and hugs and kisses.

BREAKING: Iran cannot fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz because it "cannot find" some of the mines it placed in the waterway and lacks the capability to remove them, per multiple US officials cited by NYT.

The mines were laid quickly by small IRGC boats, and some have since drifted from their original positions.

NYT also reports that Araghchi's earlier "technical limitations" comment on reopening was specifically about the mine removal problem.

Trump's children won't have White House roles in his second term
NBC News, Dec 4, 2024

As President-elect Donald Trump assembles a senior staff and Cabinet for his second administration, there are notable absences: his children.

Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, were omnipresent in his first term — firmly situated in West Wing offices and often credited with (or blamed for) his decisions.

The 2024 campaign brought a changing of the guard, with Ivanka Trump and Kushner retreating to the sidelines in Florida and Trump’s sons assuming more meaningful roles in the political operation.

Donald Trump Jr. — with an assist from his younger brother Eric — aggressively lobbied his father to pick Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his vice presidential running mate and has asserted himself during the transition. And Trump’s youngest son, Barron, helped devise the podcast-heavy campaign strategy that helped win over young male voters.

None of the sons will join their father at the White House.  Trump Jr. is focused on outside interests, including his own podcast. Eric Trump remains in charge of the family’s Trump Organization business holdings. Barron Trump is an 18-year-old college student.

Kushner, meanwhile, offers suggestions behind the scenes and receives calls from incoming members of Trump’s team asking for advice, people familiar with his involvement told NBC News. But neither he nor Ivanka Trump is expected to take on any formal role in the White House.

The couple’s view is that time-consuming jobs in Washington “took a heavy toll” on their family life last time, said a former senior Trump White House official, who, like others, was granted anonymity to share observations about internal and family dynamics. With Trump heading into the new term surrounded by more people he trusts, there’s less urgency for his daughter and son-in-law to join him inside, this person added.

For now, the only family members on deck to join the second Trump administration are more distant in-laws. Trump last weekend announced plans to nominate Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, for ambassador to France and to appoint Massad Boulos — the father-in-law of his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump — as a senior adviser on Arab and Middle East issues.

The thought occurred to me today that since Kushner and Witkoff hold no formal government position, then I wonder what kind of records they are generating about whatever talks, meetings, negotiations, deals, etc., and if, and how, those will be ever preserved in the National Archives for the official record?  Are are any of their notes, emails, and documents generated during this "work" subject to FOIA?  And are they discoverable in court, if any litigation ever arises out of these meetings?

So...and...? Is Iran saying that the strait is closed 'forever'? What are they saying? What is the point of this statement?
It sounds like Iran wants America or Europe to clear the mines, which is great. Clear the mines and open it. What is the hold up?

Iran is saying that it cannot handle the responsibility of controlling the strait traffic.  Time for them to step aside.

Iran has officially been without internet for 1000 hours - the longest deliberate blackout in modern world history.

Ask yourself why the regime doesn't want 90 million people to contact the outside world.

-We will open the Strait of Hormuz, with or without a deal.

(Wasn't the strait supposed to be opened in exchange for a truce and the cancellation of airstrikes on Iran's energy infrastructure?)

If you end up opening the strait yourself, then you had no deal.

US likely to extend Russian oil waiver to temper Iran war shock, sources say

Dmitry Zhdannikov, Jarrett Renshaw and Timothy Gardner  |  April 10, 2026  |  9:19 AM CDT

WASHINGTON, April 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is likely to extend as soon as Friday a waiver allowing ‌countries to buy some sanctioned Russian oil and petroleum products, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The U.S. Treasury Department has allowed purchases of Russian oil and products at sea since mid-March with a 30-day waiver that expires on April 11, part of efforts to control global energy prices during ​the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

Russia's presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev had said the original waiver would free 100 million barrels of ​Russian crude, equal to almost a day's worth of global output.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met ⁠with Trump in the White House on Thursday to talk about extending the waiver, and they agreed it was a good ​idea, one of the sources said, asking not to be named.

Officials at the White House and Treasury Department did not immediately ​comment on the matter.  .  .  .
