Caspar David Friedrich Woman before the Rising Sun 1818 • Trump’s Gambit: Civilizational Expansion or Nihilistic Western Decline (CTH) • President Tru
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle April 11 2026]My essay from last night, Precariously Balanced https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/precariously-balanced
There are so many weak points in the politics of all parties to the wars in the world now, that each party must guard, constraining room for maneuver and attack. Additionally, too much of an attack upon another party might trigger a desperate response. An attempt tocut off the ability to respond may trigger the feared response.
Frenemy alliances are apparent, as may be the case between Trump and Netanyahu (if he still lives), and is clearly the case between Trump and Macron, Starmer & Merz.
All of this occurs in the context of declining total global real economy, which economy is built upon oil, gas and coal, with other mined minerals. It is fed by mechanized agriculture, with 2/3 of the grain output derived from fertilizers, which are derived from oil and natural gas.
Many people barely survive on the food supplied through these expedients, and they are threatened with death by starvation. Other people continue to be under direct, genocidal military attack.
These threats of starvation and genocides-in-progress are increasingly disturbing to the gentle citizens of western liberal democratic nations. This disturbance to the bodies-politic is still increasing. People see the deaths of the innocent and helpless, and see themselves and their own families, as threatened.
In the present wars, Russian forces are grinding forward slowly in Ukraine, not making sudden moves, not spooking European leaders or banks into any sudden moves.
Israel as a political state is riven with discord. Israeli families and businesses are extremely fatigued of the war. Israelis see their own mobilized-reservist family members pressed into extended duty on the new Lebanese battlefields, where they are taking significant losses. More are being called up. Ultra-Orthodox Israelis are not yet pressed into this involuntary service.
Benjamin Netanyahu, might have been killed in early March, as might have been Itamar Ben-Gvir. They now present as questionable video apparitions.
What could possibly be a workable political reset within Israel? It would have to be arranged quietly first, before revealing these leaders to be deceased. It would have to give something to the far-right and religious factions they represent, but not the continuance of war. They would have to accept it as a “win”. The negotiators for those parties would need to know their weakened position during negotiations, but keep the secret until later.
Could such a secret be kept? How might Netanyahu’s trial figure into that? The procedings can be closed for security reasons… the clock is ticking.
Iran is in a chronically bad political state, from decades of US economic sanctions and covert military attacks. The government is widely unpopular because it has treated the people repressively, as if a hot war was ongoing for these decades. High inflation, unemployment, and scarce food and fuel have been ubiquitous.
Under current US and Israeli attacks, the IRGC seems to be in a stable, arrangement for prolonged attritional-war, receiving supplies and targeting information from China and Russia via secure overland routes. Iran needs to outlast Israel, and outlast the American news cycle, which is increasingly hard upon Trump and incumbant Republicans.
This is a midterm election year, and gas prices keep rising. The worse economic consequences have yet to hit. Can they be delayed until mid November?
European globalist leaders are finished following American leaders, but they have been left in a ditch with no winch to pull them out. They accepted being cut off from Russian oil and gas, and now they have nothing, not even their pride, as Trump insults them unchivalrously in public They cringe as Trump demands extorniate rates for inadequate supplies of these critical resources for their collapsing industrial economies. They can’t yet admit that they need Russia.
European nationalist leaders are under direct attack from EU globalists, and they have to live through it. Hungary’s Orban faces his most difficult election Sunday, which has had heavy EU social media influencing against him, and polling results (artificially?) showing him behind, which is to be used against him should he win in the ballot counts.
This weekend should entail a holding pattern for war fronts, with Orthodox Easter ceasefire in Ukraine, Hungarian elections, and peace talks between the US, Israel and Iran in Pakistan, while Israel is holding its fire in Lebanon to allow the talks with Iran to proceed. Israelis need the breather from Iranian missiles and drones, since they and the US are essentially defenseless against Iranian heavy missile attacks now.
Israel will have direct negotiations with the Lebanese government in Washington this coming week, a rare thing. They have been at war since 1948 and lack formal diplomatic relations. Israel has never respected any ceasefire agreements with Lebanon to date, and is intent upon carving out a “buffer zone” from southern Lebanon, at the expense of all of the people who have homes there.
The government of Lebanon is not able to negotiate for the real Lebanese army, which is Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a party in the Lebanese Parliament, but the Lebanese government is a weak and factionalized construct, left to them by their former colonial masters in France.
Israel has always refused to negotiate with Hezbollah, and has impossibly demanded that Lebanon disarm Hezbollah, a poson-pill to any agreement.
Israel does not have an economic plan for the future after expansionist-wars, except IMEC (India Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor), whereby flows of oil, gas, data, trade and banking from India and the Mideast, to Europe, are controlled through Haifa, Israel. All other alternate trade routes need to be suppressed to make this one work for Israel (Looking at You, Iran). https://escapekey.substack.com/p/stranded-in-haifa
Overall, the US-Israel are stocking up on air-defense systems and bombs, while aircraft carriersapproach theeater of operations presaging more attacks and a ground operation in the near future. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE have recently attacked Iran, “standing shoulder to shoulder” with the US & Israel.
[I must wonder if Trump might decide to step down and let JD Vance take over the presidency in October, fall upon his sword to save the Republicans in midterm elections, but it is just a thought. Trump has never shown any inclination towards anything like that.]Additional UPDATE 11:18 PM EDT — FLASH: U.S. RELEASING $6 BILLION IN “FROZEN” IRAN ASSETS
Hal Turner
This story publishes at 6:15 PM EDT, Friday April 10. Within the past 60 minutes, the United States RELEASED $6 Billion in “Frozen” Iranian assets, and directed those in possession of the funds, Qatar and South Korea, to effectuate the transfer of those funds as soon as practicable.Whether or not that happens now, on a Friday after all markets closed, or before the resumption of hostilities, remains to be seen. Iran is wary that this is simply another US ploy, and that the US may renege on it. The world is now watching for that, too.
Release of those frozen Iran assets is a pre-condition set by Iran for them to enter into talks with the US.
No word yet on Iran’s other pre-condition, that Israel ceasefire in Lebanon.
UPDATE 7:31 PM EDT —
From the Iranian Embassy of South Africa:
ADDITIONAL UPDATE 11:18 PM EDT —
In a very unexpected twist to this entire situation, SAUDIS, EGYPTIANS, QATARIS, AND THE CHINESE WILL INFORMALLY JOIN THE US-ISRAEL TALKS TOMORROW MORNING IN ISLAMABAD.

Among other things this week:
There’s no ceasefire.
Trump nuked Iran and ended their civilization, didn’t you notice?
All our Naval ships were sunk.
Netanyahu is both alive and dead.
The Empire ended, the dollar collapsed to 15c. Don’t you remember?
Oil is $200 a barrel.
Every market crashed.You didn’t notice? Those are just some of the things that already happened, Fox News and the Fake Right have put out the last 30 days.
Meanwhile, back in the real world: we didn’t use 10% of the U.S. Military yet.
Iran Just Took the Crown: Netanyahu’s War Crime, Trump’s Desperation, and the Petro-Dollar Collapse Bob Moriarty YT”
Yes, I see that. Iran is stronger than ever, about to invade China as a Superpower, and is turned the corner to ruling the earth.
So we both totally, totally won, but also totally, totally lost.
There is both totally a war going on, but also totally a ceasefire.
The Straits are both open and closed.Does anyone see a problem here? It’s like we’re saying “Look: it’s a tree!” And the next person says, “No! It’s a jellyfish!” These are OBJECTIVE facts. Or some point thereof can be discerned (like may be a middle place between war and peace, and is) People aren’t even discussing. They just continue on that the U.S. is conquered, the markets collapsed, bonds can’t be sold, and the US$ is 5 cents. NO! Those are NOT facts! PS oil is dropping and at $90. No news bc wrong direction for “The Narrative.”
“Iran Ceasefire Allows For Netanyahu’s Corruption Trial To Finally Resume
Trump did this and had a ceasefire because Bibi ordered him to. Nutsy WANTED this trial that puts him in prison, tricky-tricky.
ALSO Israel DEMANDED Trump bomb them into the stone age and cut their population 20%. That’s how you get powerful and well-respected.
“Speculation Surges That Pakistan Talks Are A Delay Tactic Ahead Of Expanded US Action On Iran
Guarantee it.
Wait: that can’t be right! Trump would never bomb anyone because he always chickens out, and ALSO never bombs anyone during negotiations, and ALSO signed Iran’s 10-point plan and surrendered the White House only this morning.
That’s what Davis, Johnson, Ritter, Sachs, Meirschimer and AI Guy told me. They haven’t been wrong yet!
“Watch: Ingraham Nukes Rino Rep. For Co-Sponsoring Mass Amnesty Bill For Illegal Aliens
If you’re an immigrant, they give you “Commit Crimes for Free” card at the border. Starting with that one.
“Elon Musk has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for protecting Free Speech”
If the other winners are any indication, if he gets it that will mean he’s done the most to end free speech.
“China in a bad place due to the middle east in crisis, means China becomes more dependent on Russia for oil, gas and ultimately fuel. Internally, Russia isn t a big fan of their Chinese dependencies”
Example: Russia and China on Siberia II. FOUR YEARS iirc, China has stalled signing it with Russia. …Just to screw with them and get lower prices. Like ALL facts were ready, just one: long term price. China held out negotiating price for YEARS. Leaving key ally exposed for YEARS. It’s only the attack on Iran Oh! A Miracle! China SUDDENLY decided signing in the same 10% negotiation range is fine, ackshully.
So Trump makes another win for Russia. Another banana peel, where he accidentally does a backflip.
Behaving this way (as they always have) is hammering China, and the whole BRIICS. Are they retarded? Do they not know the Western alternative? Can you downtrodden NOT just cut it out for a year or two while you get Shanghai on its feet? Nope. Guess not. …And you thought we were bad. If this doesn’t motivate, nothing will.
“• President Trump Blasts the Grifters, Blackpillers and Anti-MAGA Podcasters (CTH)
If they’re in media and not being shot daily: they’re opposition. That goes with the top ones, who just appear, then suddenly! Millions of followers! (like Candice, Bannon). Or are the outs, then Lo! Once Tuesday are on the INs! (Like Fuentes) Yeah, that doesn’t happen naturally. Not that there aren’t some organic people in there, but the overall “Gestalt” is set by MONEY, where Derp State prints infinity money and buys your ads if they like your message, drowning out real people.
Interesting statement on Mrs. Macron, bc he can call down the CIA and ask, and he’ll look pretty bad if it’s the opposite. Hmmm.
Anyway, yeah almost a year ago we predicted this and exactly over the Israel vs Domestic thing? And on the plus side, influencer numbers are collapsing, so it’s not just me. (Probably most are bots, so that’s the Derp State losing money to rig the numbers) They keep traitors at EVERY level, so on a critical vote they can call out an Ace and stuff it. (Massey) We hadn’t realized how bad some of these were until their Ace was called.
Again, that’s NOT ABOUT THE WAR. You can be against the war. …But also not insane about it. Like you can have real facts to decide on real policy. Example: One Ace that’s called, we’re deciding which side, is Kent, and everyone’s betting. Well now that he’s been on the news, it’s slowly not looking good. He doesn’t SAY anything, but gets free press. What did I say, above? He’s handsome, decorated – so Presidential. Tucker-Kent ticket, already. Anybody handsome is immediately suspicious bc it’s so often and so obvious. Real people are…real. Then in a recent interview, “Just Made S—t Up” that he should know (that Israel can only hit Iran with our permission and active help), when called on it, freezes, says, “Respect my uniform, Peasant!”. Whoa, that’s not what real people say.
So he was on “the talking points” and the talking points were lies. But he never checked, or he’d know the debate. He’d calmly say “I read it and My reason for thinking this is that.” And that’s his POSITION he should know some things, right? It’s touchy – it’s not like he can talk about secret docs he’s read – but I feel like he’d have…a position? I guess? First data in on this guy. Special Ops like him, EMB, generals, others who should know. Just pointing.
“Games Nations Play (James Howard Kunstler)
Luongo has gone apoplectic about how this war is over and is already moving on to the next predictions. Apoplectic as in using quite the language on the detractors, so I feel like he’s lost his mind but in the OTHER direction from everyone else. Is there anyone who can just say “When you’ve been flattened and Apaches can fly over your whole country with only minor resistance that’s not a GOOD thing?” That’s not Winning. Especially if your enemy has 90% of their forces left to go and factories churnin’. Ask Ukraine.
That’s not to say the morality is clear or all the reservations detractors make aren’t real. They are very well received and noted. Iran only needs to drag it out, etc. and that’s easy. It’s always easy to randomly Silkworm something out of the sky. But neither side is anything like discussing anything at all. There are no data, no arguments, no approaches, no “arriving at an answer”. It’s all emotion, so you lost. Bye. Any argument that STARTS there is already stupid. As I’ve pointed out for 40 days.
Should I cover more about the S—t show of ‘us’ losing planes, refineries and that big radar dome? Probably, but you’ve already got that covered. I don’t need to. I just nod my head and say, “given.” But like cattle cars rounding up gays like Bessant, and Trump and Vance’s immigrant wives, I was promised Trump would nuke Iran on Tuesday. –That’s what “Chickening Out” looks like, you see. When I point that out, or hilarious! Totally wrong! Predictions by everyone, — say Alex C in Ukraine – I get nothing. Quote the same wrong guys again tomorrow, undissuaded. As Day 22 of asking for any evidence of Trump and Epstein, easiest win in the universe. There are so many AI memes that “We all just know” so there must be evidence somewhere in the known universe, right? That’s why Melania asked to have them investigated, because her husband is totally guilty. Logic! As Churchill said, “Bumping into facts, they pick themselves up, dust off, and continue unchanged.”
“the American Left has launched its own sort of Jihad. It has been waging war on the rest of us in America for ten years, “
Well, really 110 years, but who’s counting? And why? They went IN. SANE. Over Iran. …Hey, exactly as if Iran was one of the last remaining major money-center sources of “London”, or this Globalist-financial-MI6 complex they so neatly represent. Because if they lost Iran, they are under 50% is my take. It’s a major blow, and sure it’s bad to lose F-stan Heroin, African Uranium, Venezuelan drugs and money, but they’re each tiny compared to Iran, who is also their “Dr. No” volcano larger than France, that they would finally be able to blackmail all the way out to Beijing with. — A Key game piece.
Recent interview with EMBurlinggame, but 1hr long, tedious detail about how the Special Ops/Intel/ scalp trading game is run for trillions in extraction/extortion from all of us.
Back to today: what happens if you STOP the worldwide chaos premium overhead? A: Instantly Everyone is 5% richer, minimum. Probably 25%. But every parasite has an issue: they will basically vanish. And without that power, their enemies will have them shot. Their co-mafia allies. So it’s existential for them but not us (in the short term).
“• It’s ‘Death To Everyone’ When Fertilizer Supply Shock Hits (ZH)
Maybe. Then why don’t I see normal reactions to it that indicate it? Interesting. Faber’s interview was TDS. Well, he’s European, they trust the newspapers and prefer fascism, clearly. Interestingly, he said he’d still vote for him, given the alternative. Don’t usually hear that.
“He does not claim the month-long U.S. operation will be a success. “That could very well be a huge miscalculation… [but] it might work.”
Okay, so you have no idea then. We usually don’t hear that either.
“socialism is known for its struggles with promise fulfillment.”
Struggle Session. But I blame Capitalism.
“He’s not getting any help from the people in government who could help him deliver on his promises”
All those other people in Government are further-left socialists than Mamdani is. But they will only do what works for themselves, and occasionally government. Never, ever, ever “The People” or “Socialism.” Self first! That’s “Collectiveism” in practice. If only we could have known ahead of time! How do I know? I’ve met them all and asked. Teachers for instance. Always higher pay while the districts they live in collapse in poverty, and pay increases the lower outcomes get. Yes, that’s “Me first” from the most socialist cadre out there, and they’re proud and loud about it. As long as no child can read and the families are on food stamps thanks to taxes, they’re happy. ($6,000/yr school taxes. And I blame Republicans. In Chicago. They haven’t won in 100 years so clearly it’s their fault. Every leader is black, so it must be racism.)
“The implicit message CNN was selling: the MAGA base is fracturing, and Trump is in trouble with his own people”
Long planned and predicted almost since Jan 10th, but certainly since Kirk. The POINT was to aggravate the Right to violence, and from Owen’s fantasy fiction, to cut Israel and “Kill the Jooooos” on one side, popping Fuentes into the insta-spotlight, all clean and beautiful now. Wtf. So this is just the playing out of the same made-up Op. And sure, is there reason for division? Of course! Propaganda has to have facts at the base. (Looking around: or used to before April 2026) But it’s all fake because the bucket of influencers they address are all fake.
“Who do you think they’d listen to more? Those people? Or President Donald Trump?”
With things have have to say every other sentence now: so “It’s a Cult!!!” Trump is Great Leader, they do anything he says!!! BUT ALSO: “No one listens to Trump!! The Right thinks he’s crazy and only listen to Jones and Owens!!!” Look, as I say daily, I don’t care. But PICK ONE. For the love of Jumpin’ Jesus, you’re crazy people and make Owens or Trump look like Stable Geniuses. Get ONE narrative. This is so easy.
A thing and its opposite are not the same.“Donald Trump runs the party, he runs the country”
Not exactly. The base criticizes Trump non-stop, even or especially about the war. But in the main, yes, given the choice they seem to be turning out maniacs saying opening retarded, false, “let’s surrender the ship” things like “Iran is landing at Virginia Harbor, if only we had those million men back from Caracas.” So yeah, when they say that EVEN Trump looks normal. Thanks. You Idjits.
“MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” I am of course on that list. (Ally) Perhaps more than one, you decide. The only thing you can be certain of with MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ people is: They Don’t Do Any Work. And that they are generally pro-rape by policy.
““This government stands firmly with the Jewish community ..”
In other news: “This government stands firmly with the Muslim community “
[Never the Christian community. They can’t even have the word pass their lips]
God forbid the British government stands with the British community. That would be discrimination.”Point? Tim Pool yesterday, in the Insanity of the Fake-Right, fake-break up, said he posted “No Christians should be allowed to speak” then “Only Christians should be allowed to speak” back-to-back on his twitter feed. Everyone just took the bait, didn’t look, and responded by their programming. Shouting, arguing, which is ideal for engagement. Yeah, that means we AREN’T TALKING. Only chaos and Satan’s Minions win.
“Until politicians stop treating violent offenders as victims of circumstance”
It’s WHICH people of circumstance? We do this, but then…nurses do not have equal right to not be attacked or molested. Police do not. People who go to work and make money do not. Poor and violent people DO have the right to be protected from…everything, all consequences. What is it all? Socialism and I’m tired of saying it. It has a paradigm of “POWER” not principles or justice. So you can be the richest Muslim ever known and be protected, or the poorest, most abused Englishman and need more abuse because you are “Powerful”, and Serena Williams and Oprah Winfrey are not. Yes, that’s straight Racism, core, bold, primary, essentialist racism. They, YOU, are part of an “abstract group”. There is no individual. So poor people are rich and powerful now, and rich people are the poor downtrodden. Because it’s the porting of the equally retarded “Capital” vs “Labor” argument: abstract groups that never existed. (the minute a worker buys a hammer, he has “capital” and is a “Capitalist” class; meanwhile the minute the millionaire caddies his own clubs, he is “Labour”)
Exactly the argument here: • Justice Sotomayor Suggests Justice Kavanaugh is an Uninformed Elitist (Turley)
His mother was the working person, who was the first woman on the bench, sort of. Does that count? Nope. He’s never met his own mother, I guess. Meanwhile, Soto is the most protected person in America, went to Harvard and Yale, hasn’t done her own dishes in years and she’s “A woman of the peeps.” St. Hispanica. ONLY an ethnicity, merely a Latina placeholder on the court, she says. I mean, that’s essential conclusion of her argument, yes?
Like other Socialists never done work in 100 years, it’s all borrowed glory for their own profit and aggrandizement. Turley points out all the working people are MAGA, so they’re Team Kavanaugh (roughly).
“• Melania Calls for Public Congressional Testimony from Epstein Victims (CTH)
The Left attacked her for this. I guess they don’t want the Epstein Files now? Why do the Left hate immigrants, and powerful women so much? Is it her color?
“Elon Musk was asked why his companies move faster than anyone else.”
I dunno: a lot of money? I’ve heard money can solve problems.
What in the literal heck does “Unfrozen” mean? Use words, man.
If it was Iran General Checking Account at CitiBank, if it was “Unfrozen” they would cash the check seconds later and the money is gone. But it isn’t. So “Unfrozen” means “Iran can’t access it”? Yes, that’s just what you think it is: that means, “It’s frozen.”
Guess? The admin expects someday soon there will be a treaty and Iran will need to rebuild, so is slowly re-positioning assets for the distant day that “something happens.”
“Why Islam cannot coexist with the West….Because it is not faith, spirituality or a person’s personal relationship with a God.
It is a political ideology. A law-religion. A total system that regulates everything – what you eat, what you wear, who you love, what you may say, what you may think, and what happens to you if you leave it.”
That a funny statement coming from the EU
Dripping with hypocrisy and condescension.
The concept of the “EU” is also a fake ‘religion’
Perfect definition of the “EU”
It is a political ideology. A law-religion. A total system that regulates everything – what you eat, what you wear, who you love, what you may say, what you may think, and what happens to you if you leave it.
What a coincidence!
How odd that even a pirate and war criminal like Trump sees it.

Iran Protests US ‘Breach of Agreement’ To Pakistan
https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2042878859503140908“Iran’s delegation, led by parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi, arrived in Islamabad overnight and held talks with Pakistan’s army commander Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Fars News Agency reported.
In the meeting, the Iranian delegation formally protested US violations of the ceasefire agreement ahead of Saturday’s talks. Iran had set two conditions before agreeing to enter negotiations: The release of Iranian frozen assets and a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Pakistan’s mediators had communicated that the US accepted both terms – but neither had been implemented.
Iran has not remained passive in response: it has maintained its restrictions on oil tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz, Fars reported.”

War On Iran: – Negotiators To Become Scapegoats For U.S. DefeatWar On Iran: – Negotiators To Become Scapegoats For U.S. Defeat
The U.S. has threatened Iran to re-open the Strait of Hormuz if it wanted a ceasefire. Iran was not interested and did not agree with it. A ceasefire, it said, would require the U.S. to acknowledge that Iran stays in control of the Strait.
The Trump administration, under immense pressure due to the economic consequences of the Strait closure, acquiesced. But it needed an excuse to do so to calm the hardliners in its own camp. It thus put out a story that gave some reason to keep the Strait closed.Iran Unable to Find Mines in Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Says (archived) – NY Times
Iran has been unable to open the Strait of Hormuz to more shipping traffic because it cannot locate all of the mines it laid in the waterway and lacks the capability to remove them, according to U.S. officials.
The development is one reason Iran has not been able to quickly comply with the Trump administration’s admonitions to let more traffic pass through the strait. It is also potentially a complicating factor as Iranian negotiators and a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance meet in Pakistan this weekend for peace talks.
Iran used small boats to mine the strait last month, soon after the United States and Israel began their war against the country. The mines, plus the threat of Iranian drone and missile attacks, slowed the number of oil tankers and other vessels passing through the strait to a trickle, driving up energy prices and providing Iran with its best leverage in the war.
Iran left a path through the strait open, allowing ships that pay a toll to pass through.
This is one of the most laughable stories I have read for some time.
Iran has never said that it had mined the Strait. It has alluded to mines in general to herd ships towards passing the toll booth near its coast. There is no evidence at all that any mine has been dropped in the Strait of Hormuz.
If Iran had dropped mines in the Strait it would know exactly where those have been deployed. It is basic military practice to always document where mines are laid as no one likes to run into one’s own mine fields.
The U.S. has lost control of the Strait and, given that, its war on Iran. Trump has acknowledged that when he characterized Iran’s 10 point plan as “a workable basis on which to negotiate”.
This is a huge defeat which can not be openly admitted. That is why the administration is now trying to put lip stick to that pig.
For lack of a competent secretary of state the U.S. decided to send its vice-president to peace negotiations.
This will be difficult task for JD Vance. Any success in peace talks will amount to a humiliation for the U.S. The war hawks will depicted this as a personal failure (archived) of the peace negotiator:
A longtime skeptic of Middle East wars who reportedly advised Trump against starting this one, Vance “wants to show the president he’s capable of handling big things and now he’s got the ball. We will see if he can close,” the person said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), a prominent GOP hawk whose soaring rhetoric about regime change in Iran has been chastened in recent days by Tehran’s resilience, put Vance on notice, calling him the “architect” of a still-secret U.S. negotiating document he called “troubling.”
“I look forward to the architects of this proposal, the Vice President and others, coming forward to Congress and explaining how a negotiated deal meets our national security objectives in Iran,” Graham said in a statement on social media Wednesday.
Iran’s red lines in the negotiations include:
Strait of Hormuz must be under Iran’s control.
Payment of compensation for war damages.
Release of Iran’s frozen assets.
Any ceasefire must be implemented sustainably/genuinely on all relevant fronts.
I expect Iran to deal away point 2 for a U.S. acceptance of the Iranian toll booth in the Strait of Hormuz.The war is unlikely to be over. I expect at least one additional round of fire exchanges. But the outcome of those will hardly differ from previous ones.
Iran has time on its side. Any additional day of closure of the Strait will increase the amount of global economic damage. This while Iran has little to fear beyond what has already happened to it.
It is the U.S. and the Trump administration which need peace in the Middle East. Iran has time to wait for it to deliver.

Fiction or truth
NEW: The U.S. warship passed the Strait of Hormuz from the East, entering the Persian Gulf, and then abruptly turned around following an Iranian warning, leaving the Persian Gulf to the Arabian SeaIt’s unclear if the U.S. warship took the normal route (red) or Iran’s newly designated route (yellow), because its transponder was off until it started the return journey.

❗️According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency:• A new round of trilateral negotiations between Iran, the United States, and Pakistan has begun.
• The Iranian and US negotiating delegations began a new round of trilateral talks minutes ago in Islamabad, with the presence of Pakistani officials as mediators.
• Given the excessive demands of the United States, it appears this is the Iranian team’s final opportunity for the Americans to reach a common framework in this round of negotiations.

live updateHigh-level talks involving the Iranian, US and Pakistani delegations in Islamabad are continuing into Saturday night, as President Donald Trump opened another line of pressure by warning that China would face “big problems” if it sent weapons to Iran.
The US president made the threat after being asked about anonymously sourced CNN reports alleging possible Chinese arms deliveries to Tehran, claims Beijing has denied.
Trump also struck a triumphant tone the high-stakes negotiations with Iran continued into the third round, saying the US had already secured victory “regardless of what happens” at the talks.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is leading the Iranian side in Islamabad, while US Vice President J.D. Vance heads the American team.

Strait of Hormuz ship traffic remains at standstill despite Iran, US and Israel ceasefireBy Cason Ho
Wed 8 AprIRGC Navy warns military vessels of ‘firm response’ to attempts at crossing Strait of Hormuz
Saturday, 11 April 2026 9:55 PM [ Last Update: Saturday, 11 April 2026 9:56 PM ]The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Navy has warned military vessels of a “firm response” to their potential attempts at passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Navy delivered the warning in a statement on Saturday, asserting that it “exercises full, intelligent control” over the strategic waterway.
“Permission to transit, in accordance with specific regulations, is granted exclusively to non-military vessels,” it noted.
The Navy categorically rejected reports claiming passage of American vessels through the strait, and reiterated that any such attempt would be met with “a decisive and forceful response.”
Iran shut the strait down to adversaries and their allies after the United States and the Israeli regime launched their latest wave of unprovoked aggression towards the Islamic Republic.
Each year, the waterway hosts 20 percent of the world’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) transit and 25 percent of seaborne oil trade.
Closing it sent shockwaves throughout global energy markets, including in the United States, where gas prices skyrocketed and prompted nationwide resentment at the ruling administration.
On Tuesday, amid the Islamic Republic’s strict implementation of the restriction and its successive waves of retaliatory strikes against American and Israeli targets throughout the region, US President Donald Trump announced agreeing to a two-week lull in American attacks targeting the country.
Also on Friday, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Iran’s highest operational command, cited Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as saying that Iran would enter the waterway’s management procedure into a “new stage” following the aggression.
https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/04/11/766674/Iran-warning-military-vessels-Strait-of-Hormuz-IRGCAmerica has become so used to “fighting” wars in which the opponent had already been hog-tied, unarmed and half starved that it is now experiencing a sort of “dazed incomprehension” of the fact that this a REAL war and that it has just had it’s ass kicked.
It will get the idea eventually, but not until it has been driven back to its own borders, in a state of severe impoverishment that just keeps getting worse. Maybe Trump or Netanyahu will even find themselves at the wrong end of a rope. One can hope.
