White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calls tonight’s two-week ceasefire with Iran “a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen,” adding that, “President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened.”

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who for the last several months has heavily advocated for the ongoing war against Iran for which he insisted that President Trump did not need the permission of Congress, is now calling for a “congressional review process” for any ceasefire or peace agreement between Iran and the United States.

U.S. President Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir to close the two-week ceasefire deal with Iran Tuesday night, with Israel having reportedly agreed to the contours of the ceasefire deal, a White House official told CBS News.

According to a statement published moments ago by the Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel supports tonight’s decision by President Trump for a two-week halt in the exchange of strikes between Israel, Iran, and the United States in order to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite statements by Iranian, Pakistani, and U.S. officials that it does, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is claiming that tonight’s two-week ceasefire with Iran does not include Hezbollah in Lebanon.

During a brief call tonight with the AFP, President Trump stated that the United States has achieved, “Total and complete victory. 100 percent. No question about it,” in the Iran War, following the announced two-week ceasefire with Iran. Trump added that he believes China persuaded Iran to make a deal as the deadline approached Tuesday, and that the country’s stockpile of highly-enriched uranium will be “perfectly taken care of,” under the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump calls Wednesday a “big day for World Peace!”, following tonight’s announced two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran. Trump states that the United States will assist with the buildup of ships in the Strait of Hormuz and that reconstruction can begin in Iran. The President adds that, “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!!!”

From this post it’s pretty clear that tonight’s agreement isn’t just a two-week ceasefire in the eyes of President Trump, but an end to the Iran War.

the last 5 hours, Kuwaiti armed forces have been dealing with an Iranian attack involving at least 28 one-way attack drones.

The Ministry of Defence for the United Arab Emirates has issued an alert stating that air defense systems are responding to a missile threat emanating from Iran.

Since the beginning of the ceasefire, Iran has launched missiles at Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar. The only Gulf Nation that has not reported Iranian missile and drone attacks since the ceasefire went into effect is Saudi Arabia.

Airstrikes have reportedly targeted the Lavan Oil Refinery in Iran, as the ceasefire is seemingly in effect in name only.

A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 (VMFA-121), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, lands aboard the forward-deployed America-class amphibious assault ship, USS Tripoli (LHA-7), in an undisclosed location in the U.S. Central Command Area of Operations, April 6, 2026.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has said that as part of a potential deal with Iran, “there will be no enrichment of uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove” all of Iran’s buried enriched material. Additionally, the president said that sanctions relief will also be the topic of negotiations. This, as Iran continues to launch strikes against Israel and the Gulf Nations.

According to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, any nation supplying weapons to Iran will be immediately tariffed at 50%, with no exceptions, it is to be seen if this applies to China and Russia.

Sporadic attacks against the Gulf Nations and Israel by Iran will likely continue for the next day or so, as automatic drone and missile launchers run through their supplies or are deactivated, and units of the Iranian Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that have been cut off from communication channels regain contact with Tehran. Both Israel and the United States know that small attacks will continue due to these launchers and current breaks in chain-of-command, and it will likely not result in further escalate for now with Iran.

During an interview this morning ABC News, President Donald J. Trump appeared to endorse a condition by Iran in last night’s ceasefire that allows them to charge tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that the fees may by a “joint venture” between Iran and the United States. “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it - also securing it from lots of other people. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that the “ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching,” as Israel continues to carry out extensive strikes against targets in Lebanon, despite Pakistan, the mediator of last night’s ceasefire stating that Lebanon is covered under the agreement, with Iran stating that the United States must choose “ceasefire or continued war via Israel.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt states that reports earlier today Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz due to continued Israeli strikes against Lebanon are false, claiming that there has been an “uptick of traffic” in the strait today, despite maritime tracking indicating that only two tankers transited through the Hormuz Strait on Wednesday.

The White House confirms that Lebanon is not part of last night’s ceasefire agreement with Iran, despite statements suggesting that it was from both Iran and the mediator of the peace talks, Pakistan. Since the start of the ceasefire earlier this morning, Israel has intensified strikes against Hezbollah and civilian infrastructure throughout Lebanon, severely threatening the balance of the agreement between Iran and the United States.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf released a statement where he claimed that three points of the ceasefire had been violated, continued Israeli operations in Lebanon, the supposed entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of what he calls “Iran’s right to enrichment.” However, per White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Lebanon is not part of any ceasefire deal and U.S. President Donald J. Trump has said that Iran will not be able to continue enrichment activities, showing a clear disconnect between the U.S. and Iran on the basis of the currently untenable ceasefire framework.
