Trump says King Charles ‘agrees’ that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon
The US president, who is hosting the UK’s King Charles III at the White House, has addressed the war on Iran in a speech at a state dinner.
He said his administration was “doing a little Middle East work right now” and that the situation was “going very well”.
“We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever – Charles agrees with me even more than I do – we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon,” he added.

So it seems unlikely he will sign up to any sort of deal that would allow Iran to postpone those nuclear talks for the time being.
He’s also very much aware the blockade is doing significant economic damage to Iran. He thinks it’s putting the Iranians under extreme pressure and, as he said on social media, he’s waiting for Iran to effectively sort out its leadership so they can work out who to speak to.

Strait of Hormuz should have ‘never been closed’

Lebanon:
Lebanon began discussing the group’s full disarmament, while debates raged within the country over Hezbollah’s future as a military and political power.
However, Hezbollah is now back on the battlefield, fighting Israel in southern Lebanon and appears not to be as degraded a fighting force as many had believed.

US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran on the evening of Tuesday, April 7, in Washington, DC, meaning it was due to expire on Tuesday, April 21.
Trump: “they will not have a nuclear weapon. They’ll have no access to, no chance of having, a nuclear weapon. And we can’t allow that to happen. That could be the destruction of the world, and we’re not going to let that happen,” he added.
“And I have to say, we had no choice in Iran. It wasn’t like we had a choice. We had to do it,” Trump said.
Wednesday evening Eastern time marks the expiration of the two-week ceasefire in the war between the United States and Iran, and bombing will resume if a deal is not reached, according to reports of phone interviews with President Donald Trump.
Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, declared late Monday that Tehran will not negotiate with the United States “under the shadow of threats,” warning Tehran is prepared to “reveal new cards on the battlefield” as a ceasefire deadline looms and the fate of renewed talks remains uncertain.
Tehran spurns talks under threats; Trump says blockade stays
Diplomatic efforts to end the US-Israel war on Iran remain uncertain, with Tehran saying it will not negotiate under the “shadow of threats”.
US President Donald Trump says the blockade on Iranian ports will remain until Tehran agrees to a deal.
Lebanon and Israel will head back to Washington, DC, for another round of talks on Thursday to end hostilities.
Israel continues to bombard southern Lebanon, wounding six people in an air attack on the town of Qaaqaaiyet El Jisr and demolishing homes in the town of Khiam in violation of a 10-day ceasefire.
Trump says Iran will negotiate with the US or face “problems like they’ve never seen before” amid continued uncertainty over whether Tehran can be persuaded to send a delegation to Pakistan’s Islamabad.
He also says Iran’s nuclear sites have been totally obliterated and that “digging it out will be a long and difficult process”.

Walking away completely is not the answer. Forcing a renegotiation is. It’s time NATO needs to pay the U.S. for it’s involvement with NATO.
For decades, the United States has carried this alliance on its back. We fund it. We defend it. We lead it. Meanwhile, too many member nations freeload, underinvest in their own defense, and still expect American protection. That era should be over. If NATO wants the United States, NATO needs to pay for the United States. Period.
And then there’s Spain.
If Spain is blocking U.S. access to bases and airspace during critical operations tied to Iran, that’s not just unhelpful. That’s betrayal. You don’t get to sit under the NATO umbrella while undermining the very country that makes that umbrella possible.
So here’s the line. Spain should be kicked out of NATO.
Not warned. Not negotiated with. Removed.
An alliance requires loyalty. If Spain won’t stand with America when it matters, they don’t belong. Let them see what defense looks like without the United States backing them.
The US and Israel step up attacks, targeting a century-old medical research centre in Tehran, a bridge near the capital and steel plants after United States President Donald Trump threatens to bomb Iran back to “the Stone Ages”.
During his address to the nation on Wednesday, Trump said that the US was close to completing its core objectives in Iran – but didn’t offer a firm timeline for when the conflict might end. Iran says Tehran will continue to ‘fight back’.
Two of Iran’s biggest steel plants – Khuzestan Steel Company in the city of Ahvaz and Mobarakeh Steel Company in the central Isfahan province – say they have been pushed out of service following a series of US-Israeli attacks.

Australia
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under fire after Donald Trump singled out Australia over its lack of involvement in the protection of the Strait of Hormuz.
Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson said the Prime Minister must stand up and explain how Australia had been criticised by the president twice in a month.
“The US is our strongest defence ally, and so this is pretty grim news overnight from the United States,” Ms Henderson told Sky News Australia.
“This is just a pretty dire situation, and the Prime Minister, frankly, has got a lot of explaining to do.”
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.
On one of the holiest days on the Islamic calendar, Iran fired on Israel and energy sites in neighboring Gulf Arab states, insisting that it can still build missiles and issuing a new threat, to deny safety to its enemies in “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide. Israel meanwhile pounded Tehran with airstrikes as Iranians marked Nowruz, the Persian New Year.
Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ostensibly released a defiant written statement on Wednesday, vowing to retaliate for the death of security chief Ali Larijani.
I’m here with Israel’s Defense Minister, our Chief of Staff, the head of the Mossad, the Chief of Air Force, our senior commanders. In the past 24 hours, we knocked out two of the terrorist chieftains, the top terrorist chieftains of this tyranny.
Iran launches more attacks on Israel in retaliation for the killings of its security chief, Ali Larijani, and Basij force commander Gholamreza Soleimani. At least two people are killed.
Afew days ago I watched Sky News with amazement as they showed Iranian propaganda images of Ali Larijani walking down the street in Iran on Al Quds Day. They kept commenting how it showed Iranian strength that he was able to walk so freely without fear of assassination, among his people.
Billions $$$$$ abroad while Iranians bleed at home.
Mojtaba Khamenei is the 56-year-old son of Ayatollah Khamenei, the late unlamented leader of Iran who recently proved, as tyrants often do, that “nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.” Daddy’s little boy even in his mid-50s, Mojtaba is has just been named to succeed his father.
Mojtaba has one thing in common with his late father: he loves money, and all the things that money can buy. Reports from Western intelligence services estimate Ayatollah Khamenei’s net worth was $95 billion. Some estimates go even higher. How much of this money will end up in Mojtaba’s clammy grasp is unknown, but even before his father’s death Mojtaba was said to have a net worth of $3 billion.
He has gold and diamonds worth $300 million, and has reportedly distributed $2 billion across foreign bank accounts in the UAE, Syria, Venezuela, and several African states. He also has extensive land holdings near Mashhad in eastern Iran. Finally, he has a property empire in London, Dubai, and on the continent of Europe. Just two of his apartments in Kensington are worth 50 million euros.
France’s special envoy for Lebanon said it would be unreasonable to expect the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah while under Israeli bombardment, adding that only negotiations can resolve the crisis.
Wave of Israeli air attacks launched as ground offensive widens in south where Hezbollah are fighting Israeli forces.
Firefighters are seen at the site of an Israeli air strike in Beirut’s Bashoura neighbourhood on March 18, 2026. Lebanon said Israel struck central Beirut early March 18
Several central neighbourhoods in Beirut have been attacked in a series of Israeli strikes.
Several central neighbourhoods in Beirut have been attacked in a series of Israeli strikes. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr has been at the scene of one attack that flattened a multi-storey residential building.
For years, Beirut’s southern suburb has been spoken about as though it were a world apart: A Hezbollah bastion, a target, a warning, or a battlefield. But in Arabic, the word “dahiyeh” simply means “the suburb”.
Dahiyeh – in size nearly as big as municipal Beirut – has been shaped by migration and displacement in the past 50 years. While many moved there in search of work or housing, most of the others were pushed there by wars, political unrest, evictions and a general sense of being neglected by the Lebanese state.
This is Al Jazeera BS. Lebanon has been invaded & occupied by Islamic forces, namely Hezbollah, which ruined Lebanon in a bloody civil war.
The number of vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz has nearly doubled in recent days, a maritime intelligence company says.
The effective halt of traffic through the waterway has sent oil prices surging above $100 per barrel, an increase of more than 40 percent compared with before the start of the war.
Qatar has no reason to worry about goods shortages or disruptions to supply chains despite heightened regional tensions, the country’s customs chief tells Al Jazeera.
Looks like this guy was a very bad pick for the job.
