President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have bombed 44 schools
April 24, 2026 - The Israeli military said on Friday that it carried out strikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, a day after President Trump announced a three-week extension of the cease-fire there, though there were no immediate reports of significant fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group.
Mr. Trump made the announcement on Thursday after hosting a meeting at the White House between Israeli and Lebanese diplomats. Hezbollah, which did not have representatives at the talks, did not immediately comment on the announcement. Neither did Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel or President Joseph Aoun of Lebanon.

April 23, 2026 - Oil was trading above $100 a barrel again on Thursday after Iranian forces claimed to have seized two cargo ships near the Strait of Hormuz, injecting fresh fear into energy markets with no public indications of a breakthrough in efforts to restart U.S.-Iran peace talks.
President Trump told Fox News on Wednesday that there was “no time pressure” on holding a new round of talks or on the cease-fire, and “no timeline” for ending the war. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, told Fox separately that Mr. Trump did not view Iran’s reported ship seizures as a violation of the cease-fire.

April 22, 2026 - Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said it had seized two container ships on Wednesday in the area of the contested Strait of Hormuz, Iranian news media reported, hours after President Trump announced that he was extending a cease-fire.
Earlier Wednesday, U.K. Maritime Trade Operations, a shipping monitor run by the British Navy, reported that two ships had been attacked near the strait, one by a gunboat belonging to the Revolutionary Guards. Iranian news media reported that the Guards had targeted two cargo vessels, the MSC Francesca and Epaminondas, and the force’s Navy later claimed to have seized the ships after they attempted to navigate “without the necessary permits.”

Fareed on US-Iran ceasefire
April 21, 2026 - Uncertainty clouded prospects for a new round of U.S.-Iran peace talks on Tuesday, ahead of the scheduled end of a two-week cease-fire between the two countries, as Tehran denounced American threats and the seizure of an Iranian cargo ship. Vice President JD Vance was expected to leave for Pakistan on Tuesday, two U.S. officials said, just over a week after a round of talks there with Iran’s lead negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, ended without a deal. Iran has not publicly confirmed its participation in more talks, and Mr. Ghalibaf said on Monday that Iran would not attend under “the shadow of threats” ...

April 20, 2026 - Iran on Monday sharpened its threats to retaliate for the United States’ seizure of an Iranian cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz, adding to pressure on the fragile cease-fire set to expire this week. Iranian officials have sent mixed messages about potential peace talks with the United States. President Trump said that American negotiators were heading to Pakistan for the meeting, and a White House official said that Vice President JD Vance was expected to lead the delegation. It was unclear whether Iran would send representatives. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman said Monday that there were “no plans” at the moment for further talks.
