- Trump announces a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz: "So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO .... Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their “Leaders,” are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP

- Trump: The Iranians haven’t left the negotiations; I predict they’ll come back and give us everything we want.

- Trump: “The Trump card the president holds if Iran won’t bend: a naval blockade.”

- Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar calls on Iran and the United States to keep their commitment to maintain a ceasefire after the countries ended historic, face-to-face talks without an agreement. Pakistan will continue to play a mediating role and try to facilitate dialogue between Iran and the US in coming days, he says.

Negotiation talks collapse between US and Ira.

-Vice President Vance: We were quite flexible, but Iran chose not to accept our terms. We are returning to the US without a deal. 

Vance: “We've been at it for 21 HOURS. We've had substantive discussions...bad news is, we have not reached an agreement."

"The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. So, we go back to the U.S. having not come to an agreement. They have chosen not to accept our terms."

Iran War Updates Tuesday April 7

6:45pm

Trump suspends bombing of Iran for 2 weeks.

Trump on Truth Social: Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter

- Prime Minister Netanyahu: "We are crushing the terrorist regime in Iran with increasing force. Yesterday we destroyed transport planes and dozens of helicopters, and today we attacked the railroads and bridges used by the Revolutionary Guards." "And this is the main point: These actions, which I approved together with the Minister of Defense, are not intended to attack the Iranian people. 

On the contrary, they are intended to weaken and crush the regime of terror that has oppressed them for 47 years. 

This is no longer the same Iran, nor is this the same Israel. We are changing the balance of power from one end to the other."

- The IRGC has issued a stark warning: any "red lines" crossed by the U.S. will trigger a response that extends "beyond the region."

- Trump threatens: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.

- Trump on concluding Operation Epic Fury: I would say that within two or three weeks... but we want to knock out every single thing they have. Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that.

- Trump: "We had regime change already. We've knocked out one regime, and then we knocked out the second regime. Now we have a group of people that's very, that are very different. They're much more reasonable, I think much more, much less radicalized."

- Q: Gas prices hit $4. What's the plan to bring them down?

Trump: 'All I have to do is leave Iran.'

The average American drives 15,000 miles a year. At $4 a gallon that's an extra $400-600 a year just in fuel — on top of groceries, energy bills and everything else the war is inflating.

See you on the way out.

- Three people were wounded following an impact in a Western Galilee town amid Hezbollah’s rocket and drone attack on northern Israel this evening, medics say.

- Trump to the New York Post: I think that if the Strait of Hormuz opens automatically, it means the war will end, but my approach is that I will wipe out Iran. They have no power left, and let the countries that use the strait go ahead and open it... because I imagine whoever controls the oil would be very happy to do so.

- Netanyahu says Israel is creating “new alliances with important countries in the region” against the shared Iranian threat. He does not mention which states he is referring to, only saying he hopes that “soon, I will be able to tell you more about these important pacts.”

- Trump on Iran nuclear capabilities: “I don’t even think about it. I just know that, you know, that’s so deeply buried it’s gonna be very hard for anybody. And we – we’ve watched it for – you know, since the attack, we’ve watched it. And at least I think finally people admit it was obliteration. It’s down there deep. And they haven’t been able to do it. You know, even without a war they haven’t been able to do it. So it’s pretty – it’s pretty – it’s pretty safe. But, you know, we’ll make a determination."

- N12 reports the US dropped bombs on a underground missile city in Isfahan 

It appears that last night’s strike in Isfahan was intended to bring down an underground missile city using 900‑kilogram bunker‑busting bombs

- Trump on Truth Social: All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!
