Iran sez no talks with US as Trump vows to ‘hit harder’

The people don’t matter, the regime clings to power at any cost….

  • Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US is sending messages through different mediators, which “does not mean negotiations”, while a diplomatic source saidTehran sees a 15-point US plan as “extremely maximalist and unreasonable”.
  • The White House has delivered a sharp message to Iran, saying President Donald Trump prefers a peaceful path, but is prepared to “hit harder than they have ever been hit before” if necessary.

Iranian media is reporting loud explosions in central and western Tehran as well as in Isfahan.

Loud explosions were reported by Iranian state-affiliated media and eyewitnesses across Tehran and Isfahan on March 24–25, 2026, as part of continued strikes targeting military, intelligence, and industrial sites. Blasts struck central and western Tehran, including near the Supreme Leader’s office and Parchin, while Isfahan and other cities experienced multiple, severe explosions.

Trump Says Iran Counterpart Allegedly “Agrees” to No Nukes After Initiating Talks — Says U.S. Will Seize Enriched Uranium: “We’ll Go Down and Take It Ourselves”

The spokesturd of Iran’s top military command says country’s armed forces will fight “until complete victory”.

The comments by Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi of the Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, carried by state television, said: “Iran’s powerful armed forces are proud, victorious and steadfast in defending Iran’s integrity, and this path will continue until complete victory”.

The general did not say what “complete victory” would look like, but it appeared likely Iran’s military was trying to warn against offering concessions in any possible negotiations with the US.

New York Times: ‘American Muslims are not attempting to impose Shariah principles on others’

The New York Times’ warning about “Islamophobia” relies on its readers’ ignorance of facts that it likely didn’t report about, or report about fully and accurately. The Times is all about constructing a narrative to support leftist political causes, not reporting the news. So it downplays and misrepresents jihad attacks, ignores Muslim declarations of imminent takeover, remains willfully ignorant about the Sharia imperative to conquer and subjugate non-Muslims, and then presents concern about Islam and Sharia as irrational racism, bigotry and “Islamophobia.” Well, sure, that’s what it is, once you’ve eliminated all the facts.

Strait of Hormuz: Chinese Containership Is First To Pay Iran For “Safe Passage”

Chinese Containership Is First To Pay Iran For “Safe Passage” Through Strait As Iraqi Tanker Crosses With Signal Off

The blockaded Strait of Hormuz is getting progressively less “blockaded” by the day.

Over the weekend we reported that “Iran was Ready To Let Japanese Ships Use Hormuz As Chinese, Indian Tankers Already Allowed Passage.” We can now add Iraq to the growing list of nations whose vessels are transiting the infamous Strait.

An oil supertanker hauling two-million barrels of Iraq’s crude got through the Strait of Hormuz, the first vessel observed moving Baghdad’s barrels through the the vital waterway – according to Bloomberg – since it all but closed to commercial shipping because of the Iran war.

The Omega Trader, managed by Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd, signaled over the past few days that it reached Mumbai. Its prior signal before reaching the Indian port city had been from inside the Persian Gulf more than ten days ago, suggesting the tanker had shut off its tracking beacon while making the transit.

Iran Lost the Arab Street, Israel keeps hitting strategic targets deep inside Iran

Israel’s U.S. Ambassador: Cracks in Tehran’s Regime Widen

Iran Lost the Arab Street

  • US President Donald Trump announced that discussions are ongoing with Iran to “determine whether a broader agreement can be reached”, saying that “this time, Iran means business; they want to settle. They want peace”.
  • Tehran denied that talks with the US are taking place, with Iran’s parliamentary speaker saying such claims are “fake news” and being “used to manipulate financial and oil markets”.

‘False flag attack’: Iran denies claims it fired missiles at Diego Garcia

Esmaeil Baghaei denies the long-range missile attack on the base, which could change the war’s calculus for US allies.

Iran has denied targeting a joint military base of the United States and the United Kingdom on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia with missiles, dismissing the claim as an “Israeli false flag” attack.

The UK condemns what it says was an Iranian attack on the airbase in the Indian Ocean, but Tehran denies its role.

 

Trump, “International Law” & the Strait of Hormuz

Reporter: “what about the Strait of Hormuz, who is going to be in control of that?”

Trump: “uhhh, be jointly controlled …”

Reporter: “by who?” Trump: “maybe me … me and the Ayatollah”

In his latest comments to the press, President Trump reiterates the US and Iran had preliminary talks over the past few days, had very good discussions with Iran, and that’s why energy strikes were postponed temporarily. He described that this time, Iran means business, they want to settle, and Trump stresses “we will get it done I hope.” Meanwhile speculation and theories of secretive backchannel dealing abound.

Iran Says Talks With US Are ‘Fake News’ After Trump Threatens To ‘Just Keep Bombing’, Wants Hormuz To Be ‘Jointly Controlled’

Parliament speaker: “Iranian people demand complete & remorseful punishment of the aggressors.”“Violation of international law.”
“Dangerous escalation.”
“Deep concern.”
“Call for restraint.”

One could set a stopwatch to it.

This ritual has become a defining feature of modern geopolitics. International law appears not when militias are armed, not when rockets are fired, not when terrorist proxies expand across borders — but precisely when someone tries to stop them. The target of this sudden legal panic was the regime governing the Islamic Republic of Iran, a state whose regional strategy has long revolved around funding proxy groups and projecting power through militant networks.

Yet the debate quickly shifted away from those realities and toward something far more urgent: Whether Israel and the United States had filled out the correct legal paperwork before acting. It is a curious inversion. The regimes least constrained by international law invoke it most loudly, while the countries that actually take the law seriously are the ones most frequently accused of violating it.

And so the question lingers.

If international law only appears the moment someone stops the arsonist, what exactly is it protecting?

Polls Show MAGA, GOP Overwhelmingly Back Trump’s Iran OP ‘Epic Fury’

Trump halts US attacks on Iran’s energy sites for five days

Trump Says ‘Good and Productive’ Talks with Iran Delivers Pause in Military Strikes

Markets have reversed earlier moves after Donald Trump said the US and Iran had had “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East”.

  • Donald Trump says the US and Iran have held “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East” over the past two days, resulting in his decision to halt all US strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure for five days.
  • Earlier, Iran’s National Defence Council says any attempt to attack the Iranian coast or islands will cause “all communication lines in the Persian Gulf to be mined” as a deadline imposed by US President Donald Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz expires today.

How did we get here?

Trump’s message saying the US and Iran had “productive conversations” and that military strikes against Iranian power plants were delayed for a five-day period comes after days of tension.

The message comes at the end of a 48-hour deadline that Trump had imposed on Iran to allow the safe passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, in what would have been a major escalation.

In response to Trump’s threat, Iranian political and military officials warned that they would strike energy and oil facilities across the region and in Israel, and that they would completely shut down the waterway through which a fifth of global oil passes.

Trump claims US held ‘very good and productive’ talks with Iran on ending war

The US president says his administration has held “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East” with Iran over the past two days.

“Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, witch will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the department of war to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions,” he said in all caps on his Truth Social page.

TRUMP GIVES IRAN 48 HOUR ULTIMATUM…

The war is now in full swing, Israel is battling on several fronts and Trump is thinking about “winding it down”, but Iran’s cardboard muftis still won’t open the straight of Hormuz, and that impacts all shipping of oil.

Lebanon

Hezbollah has carried out dozens of attacks from Lebanon into Israel over the past few days. There is, at this moment, a great deal of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

TRUMP: ‘Open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or we will blow up your power plants’…

Iran warns of hits on energy, water sites after Trump threat

  • Iran has warned of retaliatory attacks on regional infrastructure if US President Donald Trump follows through on his ultimatum over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has said he will “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if it fails to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
  • Israeli forces attack the Qasmiyeh Bridge, a key crossing linking Lebanon’s south to the rest of the country, in an escalation that President Joseph Aoun called a “prelude to ground invasion”.

Israel says new wave of missiles launched from Iran

The Israeli military says more missiles have been launched from Iran towards Israel’s territory.

In a statement, it said air defence systems are operating to intercept the attack.

Who is left running Iran?

Many of Tehran’s top leaders have been killed – from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to senior security figures – by the US and Israel.

President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have framed the killings as victories in their war on Iran, but Tehran says its governance structure is built to withstand such blows.

Let’s bring you up to speed:

  • Iran’s military has warned of major retaliation if US President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to attack Iranian power plants, saying it would “completely close” the Strait of Hormuz and hit back at energy facilities in Israel and states hosting US bases
  • Israel carried out two attacks on southern Lebanon’s Qasmiyeh Bridge, which links Tyre with the rest of the country.
  • The bridge is now “essentially destroyed,” reports Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith from Beirut, while local electricity networks are also damaged.
  • Israel’s army chief said the country is ready for a “long campaign” against Hezbollah, which has claimed several attacks on Israeli military sites in recent hours.
  • Iran’s Health Ministry said 210 children have been killed in the US-Israeli war on Iran since February 28.

Donald Trump says he does not want to do a ceasefire with Iran

Trump hints at ‘winding down’ Iran war as US deploys more troops to region

Mixed messages from the US president come amid an escalating war.

Israel’s military says it killed four armed Hezbollah fighters during coordinated air and ground operations in southern Lebanon overnight.

Starmer, Lammy and other UK ministers are repeatedly saying “the US should set out their war aims”.

But Trump’s war aims are very clear.

  • US President Donald Trump says he does not “want to do a ceasefire” with Iran. “You know you don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side,” Trump tells reporters.
  • Trump calls NATO allies “cowards” over lack of support for his war on Iran, brands the Western military alliance “a paper tiger” without the US.

UK officials have not given details of the attempted strikes that were unsuccessful. It’s unclear how close the missiles came to the base, 4,000km (2,500 miles) from Iran in the Indian Ocean.

IRGC Cowards Flee to Afghanistan as Iran’s Regime Crumbles

Masked Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members—once feared enforcers of the mullahs’ brutal rule—are now caught on video crossing into Afghanistan with passports in hand, desperate to escape the fallout from devastating US-Israeli strikes.
 
Al Arabiya footage shows these IRGC rats abandoning their posts, some reportedly shaving beards to avoid recognition after the Supreme Leader’s death and relentless attacks shredded their command structure.
 
These are the same thugs who terrorized civilians for decades. Now, with top commanders eliminated, missile forces crippled, and desertions mounting, they run like cowards when real pressure arrives.
 
Over three million Iranians displaced, borders chaotic, and the regime’s grip slipping fast—proof the theocracy is finally cracking under decisive force.
 
The IRGC only knows bravery against unarmed protesters. Against determined enemies, they vanish.
 
The end of this oppressive era can’t come soon enough.

Iran Threatens the World

U.S. and Israeli leaders maintain weeks of strikes have decimated Iran’s military.

Airstrikes have also eliminated its supreme leader, the head of its Supreme National Security Council and a host of other top-ranking military and political leaders, as Breitbart News reported.

Regime thugs are getting desperate:

Recreational and tourist sites worldwide will now be a target for Iran’s aggression and what remains of the Islamic state’s leadership further added Friday it is still building missiles.

Even so, Tehran’s arrogant defiance knows no bounds.

“We are producing missiles even during war conditions, which is amazing, and there is no particular problem in stockpiling,” spokesman Gen. Ali Mohammad Naeini was quoted as saying in Iran’s state-run IRAN newspaper.

Naeini added Iran had no intention of seeking a quick end to the war. “These people expect the war to continue until the enemy is completely exhausted,” he said.

A short time after the statement was released, Iranian state television said Naeini was killed in an airstrike.
