If you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz.

I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.

We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

Trump:

The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows.

The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a “legitimate” headline.

The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player?

CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible “reporting.” Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine will hold a press conference tomorrow at 8 a.m. ET.

Abu Dhabi Media Office:

Abu Dhabi authorities are responding to a fire incident at Habshan gas-processing facility.

Iran and Oman will charge ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz under the two-week ceasefire plan.

Iran will use the funds for reconstruction, while Oman’s plans are unclear.

White House:

The truth is that Trump and our powerful military got Iran to agree to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiations will continue.
