Bad mood= strait of trump
Normal mood= strait of Hormuz
Good mood= strait of Iran

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

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.

Less than 1% of casualties in Ukraine are children.

That number in Lebanon is 14%, and in Gaza it is 30%.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

In a matter of minutes, Israel killed more than 350 people across Lebanon on Wednesday, April 8. Here are some of their stories.

[Andreas Steno Larsen @AndreasSteno]

Brief Trump summary of the past weeks:

- “Open the strait”
- “Help us open the strait”
- “We don’t need the strait open”
- “Open the f’king strait or I destroy you all”
- “We block the strait”

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.

As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.

I’ve never seen something like this.

[Chris Martenson @chrismartenson]

A blockade to block the blockade that's blocking the Strait that wasn't blocked before being blocked due to war of choice launched by Trump. Strategery!

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

So the BBC doesn't?

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel-US war has displaced 2 million in Palestine, more than 3.2 million people in Iran, and almost 1.5 million people in Lebanon—Nearly 7 million people Israel has forced to leave their homes across the Middle East since 2023.

The number of people Israel killed in Palestine is ~88,500 (with the missing people under the rubble), almost 6,000 in Lebanon, nearly 4,000 in Iran, and about 1,500 in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria—Nearly 100,000 people Israel has killed across the Middle East since 2023.

Is Israel the only one that has the right to exist and live in the region, while everyone else has the right to die?

[Jasmine El-Gamal @jasmineelgamal]

“We could not get to a situation where the Iranians could accept our terms.”

Those words just now from Vice President JD Vance demonstrate the fundamental flaw in these "negotiations"--a simplistic expectation on the part of the US that Iran would agree to American terms in the span of hours or days.

That is not a negotiation. That is an ultimatum. Those are two very different things.

To offer an ultimatum and have it be accepted, the other party has to perceive itself as having no choice--in other words, to be weak enough that they have to accept terms, rather than begin talks.

Iran does not see itself as that weak...far from it. So why would the US think it could go in and dictate terms?

A very discouraging update indeed.

[Parth MN @parthpunter]

Extremely important

Less than 1% of casualties in Ukraine are children.

That number in Lebanon is 14%, and in Gaza it is 30%.

And yet, the western media (rightly) uses an active voice to describe one and passive voice for another.

[Maleeha Lodhi @LodhiMaleeha]

We should avoid any rush to judgement about the Islamabad talks which have barely got going. Diplomacy is a process, not an event. Anyone who thinks the process will yield something quickly is mistaken. No need to see it in terms of either breakthrough or breakdown.

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

So will April 8 receive as much non-stop global outcry as October 7?

Will it become a litmus test on every mainstream network, where guests are asked, "do you condemn the April 8 massacre?"

Will US politicians hold up pictures of dead Lebanese babies and scream for revenge?

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

O Allah,

Shatter the oppressors, restrain them, and make of them a warning to those who seek to follow their ways.

Protect the innocent wherever they are. Shield the vulnerable from every harm. Bring swift justice to those who spread it throughout the earth.

Our Lord, the corruption has been laid bare for all to see. Now let us see the corrupt stripped of their power in every way, and do not let us be counted among them in any way.

Ameen

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

Call me crazy, but we shouldn't have to wake up every day trying to figure out if the president of the United States is trying to manipulate the market or start a nuclear war.

[Roose @RuNoseP]

i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

Israel can kill thousands of people, raze entire neighbourhoods, and still manage to keep its name out of the headline.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

A country that has nuclear weapons is threatening to use its nuclear weapons on the country it won’t allow to have nuclear weapons because if they had nuclear weapons they would ‘use them.’

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.
