The FBI warned state and local law enforcement last month of an elevated threat from Iran’s government to targets in the U.S., even as the White House publicly downplayed the risk, according to a law enforcement intelligence report from March 20 reviewed by Reuters.
The intelligence report said Iran poses a “persistent threat” to U.S. personnel, government sites, Jewish and Israeli institutions, and Iranian dissidents, even though the FBI and National Counterterrorism Center had not identified broad threats to the American public.

A senior Israeli official to Channel 12:
Senior Trump administration officials made it clear to Israel that during the negotiations to be held in the next two weeks, the U.S. will firmly insist on the removal of nuclear material, cessation of enrichment, elimination of the ballistic missile threat, and more.
These are shared goals of Israel and the U.S.

Iran’s 10-point ceasefire proposal included the phrase “acceptance of enrichment” in its Farsi version, but that wording was omitted from the English versions shared by Iranian diplomats to journalists, and it’s unclear why the discrepancy exists, AP reports.

This means the attacks on Kurdistan Region will stop occurring if Iran-backed militias keep their word.
However Iran-backed Iraqi militias have been dishonest before with several rogue militias often acting on their own accord.

History Repeating Itself ?
After the 1991 Gulf War, Iraq was ordered under United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction programs and submit to international inspections. Throughout the 1990s, Iraq destroyed large portions of its chemical weapons, ballistic missiles, and nuclear-related infrastructure under supervision from UN inspectors, though disputes over compliance persisted.
Despite years of inspections and the absence of confirmed active stockpiles, the United States led a coalition to invade Iraq in 2003, arguing that Saddam Hussein still possessed or was rebuilding WMD capabilities.

President Trump via Truth Social:
"A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz.
There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. 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!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

If the Strait of Hormuz becomes politically risky or subject to fees, Qatar and Bahrain would face significant challenges in maintaining their exports and trade.
Both countries lack independent infrastructure to bypass the strait and Qatar’s LNG exports require specialized ports and cannot be piped over long distances, while Bahrain relies almost entirely on Hormuz for oil and general trade.
As a result, they would likely need to depend on the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which possess pipelines, ports, and rail corridors capable of avoiding the Strait of Hormuz.
This reliance would allow Qatar and Bahrain to reduce costs and mitigate risk, but it would also increase their strategic dependence on the goodwill and cooperation of their more infrastructure-rich neighbors.

The risk of a resumption of war remains real.
Axios details the negotiations that led to an agreement on a two-week ceasefire in the US-Iran war.
According to the publication, the breakthrough in the negotiations on Iran was the supreme leader Khamenei's agreement to a truce with the US.
As sources of Axios report, for the first time since the beginning of the war, the country's leader instructed his negotiators to move towards an agreement.
The negotiations were conducted in a closed mode through intermediaries. A key role was played by Pakistan, as well as diplomats from Egypt and Turkey.
However, according to Axios, the Pentagon and the military in the region were expecting an order to start bombing Iran's infrastructure. One official admitted: "We didn't understand what would happen. It was madness".
Allies in the region were preparing for unprecedented retaliatory actions from Iran.
On Monday, the Americans received demands from Iran, which Whitcoff assessed as a "catastrophe".
On Tuesday, the parties actually reached an agreement on a two-week ceasefire. Despite Washington's harsh public statements, including the threat that "an entire civilization will perish tonight", the negotiations did not stop and continued to progress (Axios calls false the claims of a number of media that Iran withdrew from the negotiations).
However, by the time of the final decision, Trump began receiving calls and messages from "hawks" in his entourage urging him to reject the agreement. And a number of sources got the impression that Trump would reject the deal.
However, after a series of contacts with Israel and the Pakistani side, the agreement on a two-week ceasefire was approved by the US president.
A senior Israeli official told Axios that Israel received assurances that the US would seek Iran's renunciation of nuclear materials, the cessation of uranium enrichment, and the winding down of the ballistic program (note that Iran claims the exact opposite - that the US agreed not to demand this from Tehran).
At the same time, as Axios notes, there remain serious disagreements between the US and Iran, and the risk of a resumption of war remains quite real.
