Oh Wow.

Trump ended an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker mid-conversation in Wisconsin, calling her a liar to her face before walking off.

Trump: "The elections are like a 3rd world country. You're Crooked...let's call it Quits . I've had enough."

Welker asked him to stay, saying she had traveled to Wisconsin for the sit-down.

Trump: "I've sat in the rain with you for an Hour! I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let's GO."

Something potentially massive may be brewing beneath the Pacific.

This is NOT just surface warming.

New 3D diagnostic analysis based on ARMOR data shows a huge subsurface heat reservoir with anomalies reaching +6°C below the ocean surface.

If powerful WWB (Westerly Wind Burst) events intensify and push that heat upward, the surface response could theoretically explode toward +3°C to +4°C El Niño territory.

That would push the climate system into extremely dangerous territory.

Extreme heat. Crop stress. Rainfall chaos. Floods. Droughts. Global weather disruption.

People keep saying “nature is taking revenge.”

Reality is more alarming:

This is atmosphere-ocean physics operating at full power.

The Pacific’s internal heat engine is loading energy beneath the surface.

And if that energy vents upward… the world could be looking at a monster hybrid Super El Niño.

Monitoring continues.

Loud bangs (sounds like gunfire) heard at White House Correspondents' Dinner. The President was rushed off the stage. Situation appears to be under control, no further information available at the moment.

[Josh Rogin @joshrogin]

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began. That’s a pattern.”

“And what that suggests is that there’s rampant corruption and insider self-dealing going on with the president’s up and down
predictions of what’s going to happen tomorrow in the negotiations and in the markets. And I’m sure that that’s being investigated. We can’t prove it, but it seems like the corruption that we’re seeing in our government, maybe not the President, but people who are in the know and the markets, is having a priority over the actual negotiations to end the war. And that’s a crazy thing that our system has never seen before.”

For those of you in the U.S. just getting out of holiday, here’s what you missed.

Tuesday – Two Week Ceasefire Announced

• The U.S. escalated hard inside Iran. Strikes hit Karaj, Arak, and Bushehr. The Pentagon was actively weighing next steps, including deeper strikes on power plants and strategic and nuclear infrastructure.

• Iran responded with a major threat. IRGC officials warned they could choke off oil and gas to the West for years. The Strait of Hormuz was effectively restricted, creating immediate pressure on global energy markets.

• Pakistan stepped in to mediate. PM Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir spoke directly with President Trump and JD Vance.

• Trump then announced a 2 week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The condition was clear: Iran must fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He described Iran’s 10 point proposal as “workable” and said a deal was close.

• Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi said Iran would guarantee safe passage through the Strait for 2 weeks if attacks on Iran stopped.

• Within minutes, missiles were launched toward Israel anyway. Sirens sounded across Tel Aviv and southern Israel.

• Core dispute starts here: Iran and Pakistan treated the ceasefire as regional, including Lebanon and Hezbollah. The U.S. and Israel say it only applies to Iran directly. Vance later called this a “misunderstanding.”

• Direct U.S. Iran talks were scheduled for Islamabad.

Wednesday – ceasefire starts breaking down

• The biggest issue: Hormuz never really reopened. Traffic stayed extremely low. Only a handful of vessels moved, mostly not carrying real crude.

• The White House said Iran was backing down. Independent shipping data showed the opposite.

• U.S. oil executives also got involved directly, pushing back hard against any scenario where Iran controls or taxes shipping through the Strait.

• Iran accused the UAE of being involved in strikes on its territory, and Iran hits Saudi energy and gas pipelines and infrastructure.

• Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf publicly rejected parts of the ceasefire framework, insisting only Iran’s 10 point plan is acceptable.

• Vance clarified the U.S. position: the ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon. He also claimed shipping was improving. Data did not support that.

• Israel launches a new surprise attack operation in Lebanon. Under “Operation Eternal Darkness,” around 50 IAF jets struck roughly 100 Hezbollah targets across Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley in a concentrated wave.

• Lebanese officials reported 300+ killed, 1000+ wounded The IDF said 220 were militants, including many senior commanders.

• Lebanon declared April 9 a national day of mourning.

• International backlash followed. Kaja Kallas and others called the strikes disproportionate and pushed to include Lebanon in the ceasefire.

Thursday – situation escalates further

• Saudi Arabia confirmed serious damage from Iranian strikes. About 600,000 barrels per day were knocked offline, with another 700,000 bpd affected via pipeline disruption.

• Drone activity increased. Drones reported over Tehran, Tabriz, and Karaj. Iranian air defenses were activated across multiple regions.

• Kuwait was struck after drones hit key facilities, including a National Guard site.

• Iran hardened its position: no Lebanon ceasefire, no negotiations. Officials called Lebanon inseparable from any deal and warned of consequences.

• Benjamin Netanyahu instructed his cabinet to begin preparing talks with Lebanon focused on disarming Hezbollah, while saying military operations will resume with force.

• Israel also began preparing for renewed fighting in Gaza after a Hamas deadline expired.

• Tensions with Pakistan escalated after its defense minister called for Israel’s destruction. Israel responded sharply.

According to CBS, citing survivors of the deadly Iranian attack in Kuwait that killed 6 U.S. servicemembers from the Army’s 103rd Sustainment Command, the details of the strike have been grossly misrepresented by the Department of War. According to the report, the strike was a direct hit and as reported previously, defensive measures around the installation were severely lacking. Regardless of this dynamic, survivors leapt to aid their wounded comrades following the impact. Additionally, per the report, before the impact the all clear had already been sounded from a previous alarm and servicemembers had returned to their stations and removed protective gear.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters today that news claiming the U.S. accepted Iran's 10-point plan is false and that the U.S. 15-point proposal will be the basis for negotiations.

Trump's post last night literally said the U.S. received Iran's 10-point plan and that it would be the basis for negotiations.

"We received a 10-point plan from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate." - Trump

After Trump's post, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the U.S. had accepted "the general framework" of Iran's 10-point proposal.

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has since issued a formal statement citing three violations of what he termed the "Agreed Framework" before negotiations have even begun: the absence of a Lebanon ceasefire, a drone incursion into Iranian airspace over Fars Province, and U.S. denial of Iran's right to enrichment, which he identified as clause six of the framework.

Ghalibaf cited Trump's own words back at the administration, concluding that "the very 'workable basis on which to negotiate' has been openly and clearly violated" and that bilateral negotiations are now "unreasonable."

It appears Iran took Trump literally, locked in the language within hours, and Leavitt had to walk it back. The walk-back was not fast enough.

When unvetted, extemporaneous social media posts replace coordinated policy statements, and bypass the subject matter experts, legal counsel, and diplomatic advisers who exist precisely to prevent this, adversaries will read every word before your press secretary does and will not hesitate to use it against you.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that Donald Trump's ceasefire made clear that he accomplished none of his objectives in Iran. Woah.

[Status-6 (War & Military News) @Archer83Able]

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The official statement released by the Supreme National Security Council of Iran says that the US agreed to:

- Committing in principle to guaranteeing non-aggression;

- Accepting Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz;

- Accepting enrichment;

- Lifting all primary and secondary sanctions;

- Terminating all resolutions of the Security Council and the Board of Governors;

- Paying Iran compensation;

- Withdrawing American forces from the region;

- Stopping the war on all fronts, including against the so-called "Axis of Resistance."
