President Trump announced, “A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just “hangin’ around” in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!”
War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine are scheduled to hold a press conference at 8:00am ET. Livestream Links Below:

Sobering to learn how vast and layered Iran’s military arsenal had become, even without nuclear capabilities. A global menace by any rational standard.
Too bad past administrations didn’t have the brass to effectively deal with Iran. Thank God for President Trump.
Hundreds and hundreds of billions can buy a lot of weapons.
My thoughts exactly. With a nuke it might be total world destruction as these Shia people are the most insane of all.
…they been ready for this war least ..25 yrs…they seen what happen in the LIBYA/IRAQ/LEBANON/SYRIA…… there should not be surprise..never ever underestimate enemies/adverseries…someone badly did…..
Except our EGVSGPDJT.. Extremely Gifted. 😎
And just think
An American President (44) Osama released 150 billion to the terrorists in Iran to purchase tools to kill Americans.
Pallets of cash which is illegal yet what came of it ?
NAFT as the crack smoking skin flute playing thief walks free.
He only did exactly what was expected and demanded of him by those who installed him, which wasn’t you and me.
The same people running Ukraine and installing terrorist in Syria along with pallets of $100 bills and bank labels from U.S. banks are proof.
Them Clowns In Action are everywhere trying to destroy this country while destroying other countries.
Uh, as Iran just bombed another pumping station. But you know, we are winning. Iran is charging for passage thru the Hormuz in Crypto trying to take charge. So everyone, what’s next?? One solid guess is that we man the area at our cost for EVERYONE else benefit. If we don’t man the area you can be as sure as shit Europe won’t do it. I say fold up and let the other nation suffer. We don’t need the oil like the green energy nations that fell for the bullshit trap. There are Green, until they are not!
What’s next? Get out of line, and we end a civilization. F them.
Link? Source?
And yet, if you look at the headlines on the Citizen Free Press, it sez just the opposite of what this article states. There has to be maybe 6 articles… don’t know the sources because I won’t give them a click. CFP has gone the way of drudge.
I agree. CFP has become a “left-wing” aggregator. They link to CNN, NBC, Axios, Politico and mostly left wing media sites. They have gone off the deep end!
That’s sad. Years ago it was front of the line reporting the things no one else would. Darn.
I like Secretary Hegseth’s assessment of a reporter’s question” “It was an indictment framed as a question.”
At first I was watching one media and they thought their commentary was more important than the question and answer portion of the so I changed to another media.
The utter hubris of these so-call reporters.
Thanks for posting this. hahahaha
They are not reporters. They are opinion whores.
presstitutes
That was the best moment of the press event! Thanks for the quote, I’ve been trying to remember all day what the words were.
Dear Remington,
Since you brought it up, I would like to agree with you about the headline aggregator CFP. Since the first, the editor has used conservative leaning headlines for clicks into the same old anti American, liberal news sources without the courtesy of a rewrite. What is the point of clicking for honest news only to read the crap squirting from the usual sources?
He now is using headlines to tell us what to think about any given subject. Sadly, all the ‘conservative’ on-line sites are similar. It is the click that generates profit. You probably have noticed how most all news services use the same stories passed among themselves. It is an incestuous industry.
Rush Limbaugh said it best: If you are not relentlessly conservative every day of your life, you will eventually become a liberal.
The sleazy pictures during their “Champagne Room” on Friday and Saturday nights, speak volumes.
Drudge and Breitbart…not as stellar as they used to be…occasionally good headlines…occasionally…
You have hit an absolute bullseye!!! I used to be a commenter at CFP and became disturbed at the level of soft porn disguised as ‘good old boy’ contributions. Kaine sets the tone and diminishes the entire operation by using his opportunity for influence to degrade and objectify womanhood.
The internet seems to be populated with women who believe their bosoms and butts are the center of worldly interest. Pedophiles and perverts agree. Serious news enthusiasts do not.
CFP isn’t what it started out as. It has been corrupted by the DS.
It has now become a DS place to plant their propaganda.
It’s even worse than Brietbart and that says something.
You don’t even need high IQ to see it.
I am laughing because against my better judgment, I must ask: who or what is DS? Thank you so much…………….{my IQ decline parallels my chronological incline}
DS =DeepState.
A.k.a DipShit.
I’m beginning to get the same feeling
Does this mean the midterms are lost? Axing for a friend.
HA! You forgot the eyeroll or sarc tag.
No, AOC and Schumer still have a chance.
Am I shocked that Iran seems to be violating ceasefire? Not really.
We may be in the FA stage again.
Stay tuned for the FO if this crap continues.
Iran’s command and control infrastructure has been significantly degraded over the last several weeks.
We will see if these are one offs from elements that didn’t get the memo yet, or simply forces obeying orders to flout the ceasefire.
That happened to the Japanese solders in the Pacific…They never got the memo…
For decades!!
Agreed.
I’d expect that there’s already some backchannel communication to the “leadership” telling them to get the word out to the outposts, and if this crap continues, all bets are off.
My scientific wild ass guess is that they got the memo and they are obeying orders to keep fighting, no matter what happens.
Likely the case. Time and intel will confirm it if it is true.
Probably some of both. Their leadership has been completely killed off several times over and, as you say, their command and control infrastructure significantly degraded to boot. Even if there is one who is the actual leader now, how many others don’t know it, believe it, or accept it?
If a negotiated settlement is reached and the regime survives in some form, it should be interesting to see what the surviving leaders do. Finger-pointing will be the least of it. None will want to accept any blame for anything, that is not the culture. There might be a bit of a blood bath behind the scenes until one person emerges as the actual recognized leader. Those who did the negotiating might not still be among the living when the dust settles. And what will that do to the peace settlement? It should all be interesting.
I think that “Bridge and Power Plant Day“, as some are calling what PT said would start yesterday, should have started and continued for at least a few days and caused massive infrastructure destruction before a ceasefire should have even been considered. Might have caused what was left of the regime leadership to come begging publicly for a ceasefire.
The only acceptable negotiated settlement should be unconditional surrender………. period.
President Trump seizing the moment to get 10 days (maybe) of oil prices dropping. Even if Irantional drops the ball and starts attacking again, President Trump can start the bridges and power plant phase again. Cause the whole world knows he already gave them the one chance to come clean.
according to an article by houseofsaud, the President who made the ceasefire with Trump is not in charge of Iran, the IRGC is. So that pretty much explains everything. UAE was bombed by Iran, they returned the bombing and Iran said it was US or Israel. Seems like Iran is asking for this though since as soon as the ceasefire went into effect for the US and Israel, Iran started bombing Israel, UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and all of the other ME countries. And those countries are now fed up, they have had it with Iran and some are fighting back. God Bless the USA!

lie for the sake of getting what you want, delay obfuscate. all in the book of theirs. ya and the crap about the 10 tenets of their agreement with US is propaganda and hard nos and none starters. ie US paying for damage, allowing them to control hormuz and charge a toll, enrich uranium.. etc. all crap.

Yep, Allah condones lying to infidels to subdue them
It is as you say, my friend. 🙂
One can only hope. Venezuela was a breeze. What’s the problem here?
fanatics who don’t care if their whole country is burned to the ground as long as they take someone else with them. They think as a martyr they will go to heaven with their virgins and much respect. Fanatics are the worse to fight against because they do not care who or what they hurt or kill, just that they are killing someone, often their own citizens.
At the moment, there is not a single Iran. The regime or IRGC, however you want to refer to that certain group, is holding Iran hostage. Trump had to disarm and negotiate with the hostage taker in order to free the hostage.
It is also the reason why Trump floated the idea of sending ground troops. It was to test the waters to see if Iranians or soldiers would be willing to engage in a ground battle to side and defend the regime/IRGC. I didn’t see the Iranians chanting “bring it on”…so there is a split within.
The hostage is nowhere near free.
IRGC has complete control over the people as they did before.
Kind of like residents in the blue states of America…
Tina Peters is nowhere near free and she is a hostage.
In Iraq?
Uh, Trump succeeded, just like he has in Venezuela. LOL
Could have been Israel that did it.
They aren’t happy more bombs aren’t falling.
How the other side sees this
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/8/us-iran-ceasefire-deal-what-are-the-terms-and-whats-next
Looks like a comparison of a dingy to an aircraft carrier!
The globalists and Deep State won’t let Trump win this one. I doubt the ceasefire will hold. It’s all about the midterms and ending MAGA progress for the next two years.
We did attack three times while we were in”negotiations.” Two week ceasefire is all it is for now, Are artillery units still in route?
We did attack three times while we were in”negotiations.”
Only after it was obvious that those negotiations were not sincere on the Iran side.
“Negotiate” does not exist in their vocabulary.
Bibi – the globalist will probably break the cease fire. He still wants to keep bombing Lebanon. Bibi is working with the globalists and RINO’s to get Trump out. Remember, he was the first one to congratulate Biden after Biden’s backers stole the 2020 election. He is not President Trump’s friend.
Looks like our cadre of online narrative engineers have all been sent the same taking points, which will miraculously be repeated across the MSM and interwebs.
^^^this^^^
It is becoming increasingly difficult to get real information
Always has been, it just that we see it all now.
Perzactly!
The Ukraine payola is drying up.
China and NWO no longer getting any return on previous investments.
The who Kraine…
Iran reminds me of the Monty Python’s episode of the Black Night whose legs and arms have been cut off. He SAYS TO King Arthur: Come ON! I’ll butt you with my head!! Or something like that. Their leaders, what’s left of them, are insane.
Trump: “Your arms are off”
Iran: “It’s just a flesh wound”
Trump:”We’ll call it a draw, then”
Iran: “Come back here you orange bastard… I’ll bite your legs off!”
…’none shall pass….’
We have to remember that these wankers only care about ringing back the 12th emam; which requires total estruction.
Well let’s totally destroy them then.
This so-called cease fire will most likely result in the world demanding the end of civilization in Iran.
not World …but only 2 states+ very few Muslim states…
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Why can’t we find their remaining ballistic missiles? They’re not small:
Iranian ballistic missiles vary in size, but for example, the Shahab-3 has a diameter of 1.2 meters and a length of about 13 meters, while the Khorramshahr missile has a diameter of 1.5 meters and is also approximately 13 meters long.
they are in deep caves, brought out by rails when fired.
I read that Iran’s ballistic missiles only have a 200 lb warhead. Compare that to American fighter aircraft and dive bomber with multiple 500 and 1,000 pound bombs?
Interesting discussion of events leading up to and including ceasefire:
https://rumble.com/v786yoy-defcon-zerq-ep-038.html?e9s=src_v1_cbl%2Csrc_v1_ucp_pl%2Csrc_v1_pl&playlist_id=AMgeJKjdpMM
Layer this with Tom Luongo’s and Promethean Action’s discussion of the destruction of the old City of London empire.
This cease fire has a life of a party after a turd is found in the punch bowl! My guess Iran has figured out that if they semi-open the straight by charging exorbitant fees and selecting who can pass and who can’t they make it hard for Trump to restart bombing while keeping oil prices high and world and domestic pressure on Trump. I don’t believe Iran will willingly turn over their enriched uranium. Without that, the mission will always remain unfulfilled. Trump should have just taken out the infrastructure and oil wells at the gitgo. If we can’t arm the “resistance” then the uprising was a false hope to begin with.
I would like just ONE poster provide EVEDENCE that ANYONE is paying ANYTHING to transit tne Strait.
And while you’re at it — EXACTLY WHO are they paying? And HOW?
This whole “Iran is charging tolls” meme is so very stupid….
The IRGC are saying it themselves!! You need to expand your reading sources!
The IRGC says a lot of crap, that they cannot back up. Like, you attack us and we will destroy the great Satan but here we are start destroying.
What reading sources do you suggest?
And YOU are so stupid to believe that propaganda?
Grasshoper …is not only one…..
Exactly. It really just extortion. The IRGC is nothing more than a Mafia type Mob. They no more believe in Islam than a Buddhist in Japan.
They are a criminal organization that gained power in Iran, period.
The “uprising” was never part of the mission.
The sky is falling!
Trump won. Obama said Assad had to go and it took over 4000 days. LOL
This is much better than what I was expecting to wake up to this morning. The ships that have been trapped inside the Gulf hopefully can make it out. I don`t have a clue if there are any ports in the Gulf that can load product.
FYI, Iran is NOT a Muslim country. The majority of the population despises religion BECAUSE of the tyranny the mullahs have forced onto the general population. Too much ignorance and a lot of screen names I have never seen before today. It seems there is a concerted effort to create discourse on CTH. I’m stepping out for a couple of days to see if this cools down.
Totally agree! The pearl clutching is off the charts. If the crazies want to act crazy, they get pummeled again. As the president said, we’ll be “hanging around”…. We hold all the cards. I firmly believe part of this issue with the Strait of Hormuz is making the euro weenies feel the pinch of their own weakness… I’m here for that all day long…
LOL. Iran is a Muslim country, most recently run by Ali Khameni.
TDS … the mind is a terrible thing to waste!
Ever met a Persian? Everyone I have ever known is very secular if not atheist.
Same in secular Turkey yet 97 percent of ID cards check off “Muslim”.
Christians who check “Christian” box have my deepest respect.

Was the Discombulator 3000 used?
The victory will not be successful until the IAEA and the US verify removal of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium and complete destruction of their centrifuges used for that enrichment.
If you believe, as you should, that “all wars are banker’s wars” then you need to ask yourself who the bankers are behind the Mullahs. The below link illustrates who that is: spoiler alert, its Chairman “Rothschild” XI.
So, who bent the knee for this to end? China. They could not care less about the Mullahs or their death cult. They care about the oil, which is why President Trump cares about the oil. You saw his post about anyone re-arming the Mullahs getting immediate 50% tariffs. Who do you think that was directed too? Keeping the pressure on China will cut off the fund flows to the Mullahs and collapse the regime.

Cut off a hornet’s head and it will still try to sting you!
Iran is like that hornet, having lost so many of their supposed leaders and most of their communications network, rogue elements of Irans’s Revolutionary Guard are acting independently of whatever brokered peace President Trump, Hegseth and Caine announce.
To illustrate that point, Reuters and The Jerusalem Post reported today, April 8th, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard just announced that they are again closing the Straits of Hormuz in retaliation for Israeli strikes against Hezbollah, sending messages to oil tankers in the area that any vessel trying to travel through “will be targeted and destroyed.”
Who knows if that’s true? The Arab world is famous for double-speak as yesterday’s announcement by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, (who knew that Iran had a parliament?), that Iran “had clearly won the war” and Trump and his allies had 20 hours to submit to Iran’s will or they will “return to the Stone Age!”
So I’d advise U.S. negotiators to have plenty of NaCl on hand, because any announcement of a lasting truce with Iran has to be taken with a grain of salt!
When you cut off the hornets head it has to find you before it can sting you. Tough without eyes.
We have many many cans of 20 foot jet spray Raid. And plenty of ex-12 year old boys having a blast doing the spraying.
Taking a day off today, gardening, cat, cleaning, cat, odd jobs, cat, etc and smiling as I read some of the comments. Apparently Iran is so powerful it can rebuild its shattered military infrastructure and replace key commanders, with years of experience, in 14 days. They can also hoodwink the US, who have ISR dominance to a level of granularity few even understand, whilst enforcing a toll system on International waters with a non-existent navy. I’m surprised that Trump didn’t immediately surrender, in the face of this amazing enemy, oh, my bad, but he already has, according to the Leftoid groupthinkatron that they get their hourly updates from.
The IRGC have never been beaten as badly as this in its entire existence, their rhetoric is as undimmed and as ludicrously twisted as it always is, but that can’t erase the fact that the US and Israel took apart a defence system decades in the making. Their defenders, or more accurately Trump loathers, can use their trusted mobile goalposts and claim that surviving is a victory for the regime, but that avoids the inconvenient fact that even before Epic Fury it was in serious trouble, hence the riots earlier in the year. A month long smackdown, that’s alienated it from its neighbours (thanks to the brilliant strategy of attacking them, irrespective if they were involved) and destroyed a large chunk of their military industrial complex has hardly helped, only advanced the regime’s ‘death clock’, who now have to worry not only about the citizens wanting to remove them, but also those in government.
IRGC and Basij –
PLEASE KINDLY Raise Your Hand so That YOU May Move to THE FRONT Of The LINE to get YOUR Seating…

Oman is savvy enough to understand that imposing fees on ships passing through Hormuz violates Law of Sea (UNCLOS) and creates enemies for Muscat, especially among its Gulf neighbors.
For the first time in years, Oman says no to the “winning” Iran regime, which said it will levy $2 million on each ship, share half the proceeds with the Omanis (and Tehran also said that it had discussed it with Muscat that has agreed).
If Oman doesn’t play, the only way for Iran to control Hormuz is by continued piracy or drone attacks, neither that says ceasefire.

@NewsNow4USA
Translated from Arabic
🚨Omani Transport Minister:
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Oman’s position is clear: Oman has signed all international agreements related to maritime transport.
The Strait of Hormuz is a natural passage, not created by human intervention, and therefore, no fees can be imposed on it according to the international agreements signed by the Sultanate.
So the Omani Transport Minister now Refers to
” The Strait of Hormuz is a natural passage, not created by human intervention, ”
therefore a ” NATURAL RIGHT ” of Passage ?
( leans to a GOD GIVEN RIGHT Declaration … )
The eye in the sky will be watching every move on the ground in Iran, you can bet on that.
How might is Iran, not too long ago Tehran was running out of water, and they were going to evacuate the city. How did they avoid that, they turn of the water after 12 hours, half the day there is no water. President Trump is correct those people have been living in hell for 47 years.
The EYE in The SKY – Appropriate for POTUS TRUMP to USE –
With Lyrics
So appropriate…
“I am the maker of rules….”
“Dealing with fools…” 😉
Thanks for that! First time I have come across the long version of this favorite tune 🙂
Here’s a 14 Minute Version
Our great President Trump simply can’t believe that Iran has suddenly decided they’ve had enough and peace is the goal. Trust no Muslim nation, especially a theocratic Shia nation that has chanted Death to America for 47 years
He doesn’t.
“Trust in Allah…but tie up your camel!” – Arabic proverb
And…
“Never trust Moslems, Arab or otherwise!” – Unknown
Skimming through comments by “new members” especially…. 🙂 it is truly fascinating how so many people know so many things, which President TRUMP and The Air Force and The Navy and The State Department apparently do not know! 😉
And these people place their knowledge on websites, instead of sending it to President TRUMP!
Yes, fascinating!
Was there a pool on how short the gap would be? …
“… The Kuwaiti Armed Forces confirmed that they intercepted a total of 28 drones and that some were specifically directed against “vital oil facilities, power plants, and water desalination plants ” in the south of the country.
The Ministry of Defense detailed that the impacts caused “ significant material damage ” to the energy infrastructure, with no fatalities reported so far.
This new episode occurs in the midst of a fragile truce announced by President Donald Trump and accepted by Tehran, mediated by Pakistan. Iranian state media, such as IRIB, justified the attacks as retaliation for alleged previous bombings on the oil island of Lavan, on Iranian territory.
{ Iranian Drones Bombard Kuwait’s Oil Facilities, Power Plants, and Desalination Plants Just Hours After the Ceasefire Announcement }
We are seeing rabid animal level mentality here also… at bottom, a rabid animal is a rabid animal.
Am I the only one wanting President Trump to go in and bomb the hell out of these Iran Navy boats! What’s the problem here?
Uh….already done. There IS NO Iranian Navy anymore 🙂
Duh – yes to L4!
Somebody must still be paying attention to AmeriPavda media, to be unaware that navy went to Davy Jones’ Locker some weeks ago…
There is a Pentagon briefing today… loads of current information – you’ll enjoy it.
Supposedly Chinese companies have shipments on the way with weapons for what is left of Iran’s military.
Will Chinese ships/trucks/airplanes with weapons for what is left Iran’s military be attacked, as soon as they enter Iran?
I would hope so! A 50% tariff would not seem high enough to stop their mischief!
We shall see!

I’m losing patient with president Trump’s agree ceasefire with evil regime,
he need get fishing the job.no negation any more,
