President Donald Trump‘s offer to Iran to end the war includes multiple “red lines,” including completely ditching its pursuit of nuclear weapons and “fully” opening the Strait of Hormuz, according to multiple reports on Sunday afternoon. Vice President JD Vance made the offer on behalf the Trump Administration during a marathon negotiating session with Iranian leaders in Pakistan this weekend. Vance emerged from the talks at 6:30 a.m. local time on Sunday and announced he — as well as special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s adviser/son-in-law Jared Kushner — were going home without a deal. Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson reported the 6 red lines that the administration has for Iran on Sunday; The Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan followed that up shortly after with her own report that had the same six dealbreakers. The six red lines per their reports are: Iran must end all uranium enrichment Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities Retrieve highly-enriched uranium Accept a “broader peace” and de-escalation deal with America’s regional allies End funding for Islamic terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis Fully open the Strait of Hormuz — including no charging tolls for ships passing through https://twitter.com/LucasFoxNews/status/2043383301642285108?s=20 U.S. official tells @realDailyWire that these are the United States' red lines for Iran: – Iran must end all uranium enrichment– Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities – Retrieve highly enriched uranium – Accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation… — Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) April 12, 2026 Vance had referenced the red lines in his brief remarks to reporters in Pakistan, although he did not specify what those were beyond an “affirmative commitment” that Iran would not seek a nuclear weapon. He told reporters that the trio of American representatives were “quite flexible” in what they were willing to do to get a deal done in Pakistan, but that Iran did not bring the same mentality. “We’ve made very clear what our redlines are, what things we’re willing to accommodate them on, and what things we’re not willing to accommodate them on — and we’ve made that as clear as we possibly could,” Vance said. “And they have chosen not to accept our terms.” Tomlinson and Olohan’s reports come a few hours after Trump scorched Iran in a Truth Social post for not reaching a peace deal with Vance.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) Viktor Orbán has conceded Hungary’s race for prime minister, ending his party’s rule after 16 years, despite attempts to by U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance to put him over the top. Orbán conceded to Péter Magyar’s centre-right opposition party, and Magyar posted on social media to say Orbán had congratulated him Sunday. Orbán told a crowd of supporters that the election result was “clear” and “painful” for his party. “The election results is not final yet, but it is understandable and clear,” Orbán said. “The election result is painful for us, but clear. The responsibility and possibility of governing was not given to us. I have congratulated the winner,” Orbán said. Orbán has been accused of eroding democracy in the nation, and was once described by former White House staffer Steve Bannon as “Trump before Trump.” Vance flew to Hungary in the days before Iran peace negotiations in Pakistan, where he gave a speech to praise Orbán. Trump phoned in during the speech to applaud Orbán for not allowing his country to be “invaded” by immigrants like other European nations. “You have a man that kept your country strong and he kept your country good, and you don’t have problems with all of the problems that so many other countries have because they let their countries be invaded. And you don’t have that problem because of Viktor Orban — that’s the only reason you don’t have that problem,” Trump said. “There was a lot of pressure on him to do it, and those other countries made big mistakes. So I wish you a lot of luck.” Trump added, “I’m a big fan of Viktor. I’m with him all the way. The United States is with him all the way.” Trump has not yet commented on Orbán’s defeat. This is a breaking story and has been updated.The post Breaking: Hungary’s Viktor Orbán Concedes Defeat — Despite Late Support From Trump and Vance first appeared on Mediaite.

Mike Turner (R-OH) Sunday over his statement that President Donald Trump has been “very clear” on his goals with the Iran war. “Our polling showing the American people aren’t persuaded in the same way you are,” Brennan began. “Let me run through some of the things he said on the Hormuz Strait.” Brennan then began ticking off a laundry list of Trump’s back-and-forth positions on the strait. BRENNAN: At the outset of the war, March 3rd, he said the Navy would begin escorting tankers. “No matter what, the U.S. will ensure the free flow of energy to the world.” March 9th, he said he was still thinking about taking it over. March 15th, he said it was someone else’s problem — our allies would take care of it. “Maybe we shouldn’t even be there. We don’t need it. We have a lot of oil.” Six days later, he threatened online the U.S. would attack Iran’s power plants if it didn’t open the strait within 48 hours. March 26th, he went back to blaming allies, saying he’s disappointed in NATO. TURNER: Margaret, in any conflict there’s going to be — a conflict is going to be fluid. BRENNAN: And then, he announced a two-week ceasefire, saying Iran had agreed to open the strait. TURNER: A conflict is going to be fluid. BRENNAN: I’m not done, because yesterday he said – REPRESENTATIVE MIKE TURNER: A conflict is going to be fluid. BRENNAN: — that CENTCOM announced they’re sending two ships to set the conditions for clearing mines. This morning he said the Navy is going to start blockading the strait and interdict ships! “Is that the final answer? I mean can you see here why the public doesn’t think that the president has a clear strategy?” Brennan asked. “Margaret, your adversary has a vote in this too, and they have a position in it too, which there were just negotiations just yesterday.” “Pick a position!” Brennan shot back. “They change with the days!” Watch the clip above via CBS News.The post ‘Pick a Position!’ CBS’s Margaret Brennan Confronts GOP Congressman on Trump’s Shifting Iran Rhetoric in Heated Exchange first appeared on Mediaite.

- Hasan Piker Brands Republican Party ‘Biggest Terrorist’ Group on Earth Popular socialist streamer Hasan Piker branded the Republican Party the “biggest terrorist” organization on the planet in an interview with Pod Save America co-host and former Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau on Sunday. Piker made the eyebrow-raising comment after saying he has been disenchanted with the Democratic Party and how it has been “taking my vote for granted.” Favreau said he agreed the Dems aren’t perfect, but compared to the Republicans they look great. “But you see, as we head into these [elections], after what we’ve lived through these last [few] years, the stakes and the stark difference between even a Democrat who you and I may find not up-to-par, to say the least, versus Vance or whoever the f*ck they put up?” Favreau said. “Of course. I mean, I hate Republicans. I oppose them, I say that all the time,” Piker said. “I think that the Republicans are far more damaging — the biggest domestic terrorist in this country, the biggest terrorist internationally is the Republican Party.” He added, “not only that, I want to fight against the growing fascist movement in this country.” Piker has been in the news a lot lately as some Democrats debate whether or not it is worth being associated with the famous Twitch streamer. CNN anchor Jake Tapper recently called out Piker for a number of “outrageous, if not bigoted” comments over the years, including Piker saying America “deserved” to be attacked on September 11, and more recently saying it would be “f*cking hilarious” if “inbred” Orthodox Jews in Israel get killed fighting in Lebanon. Piker has also called Hamas “the lesser of two evils” when comparing the terrorist organization and Israel. Tapper also read from a recent Wall Street Journal column that argued Piker was “anti-American, anti-women, anti-Western and anti-Semitic. No Democrat should engage with him.” But many have engaged with him. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) has taken chummy pictures with Piker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has streamed with him, and Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed just held a rally that featured Piker as his special guest. Piker has also received fawning coverage from media outlets like The New York Times, which called him “a progressive mind in a body made for the ‘manosphere'”; the article included a photo shoot with a beanie-clad Piker at a basketball court. And just last week, The Bulwark’s Tim Miller argued liberal politicians would be foolish to shun Piker. Watch… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- ‘You Could Be a Model!’ Trump Praises UFC Fighter’s Looks in Wild Post-Mat...
Screenshot President Donald Trump praised UFC fighter Paulo Costa’s looks during a wild ringside meet-up on Saturday night, saying, “You could be a model!” Trump was criticized by some on social media — while others cheered him — for attending UFC 327 at Miami’s Kaseya Center as peace talks between the U.S. and Iran were falling apart in Islamabad, Pakistan. Costa, from Brazil, jumped the cage to shake Trump’s hand when he spotted the U.S. president in the crowd. Cameras picked up part of the brief discussion between the two. “Thank you for doing what you do,” Costa could be heard saying. “You’re a beautiful guy. A great fighter,” Trump said before slapping Costa on his leg. “You could be a model, you look so good!” Trump continued. “You’re too good looking to be a fighter. You are some fighter. Thank you, man,” Trump said while shaking Costa’s hand. In the postfight news conference, Costa was asked if Trump really made the comments about his looks. “Yes that part was true,” Costa said. “Thank you, Mr. Trump.” Trump to Paulo Costa: You're too good-looking to be a fighter.pic.twitter.com/xti06hnzNG — Jed I. Goodman © (@jedigoodman) April 12, 2026 Trump entered the arena to a Kid Rock song Saturday night while flanked by UFC boss Dana White, as well as Trump’s daughters Ivanka Trump and Tiffany Trump. Also on hand were Secretary of State Marco Rubo, Vanilla Ice, Dan Bongino, and Joe Rogan. Despite Rogan’s vocal opposition to the Iran war, the two had what appeared to be a friendly exchange, with Trump pointing at Rogan, shaking his hand, and exchanging a few words. The New York Times summed up the evening as a respite for Trump following a tough week of defending his war. “After a week spent largely out of sight but lashing out at his enemies on social media, Mr. Trump’s resurfacing at a match seemed designed to provide him with a soothing balm of male aggression, musky sweat, and cheering supporters — not unlike one of his political rallies, just with shirtless fighters,” the report said. ——The post ‘You Could Be a Model!’ Trump Praises UFC Fighter’s Looks in Wild Post-Match Meeting first appeared on Mediaite.

Eric Swalwell (D-CA) could soon be expelled from Congress over the allegations of sexual misconduct and rape that have rocked his gubernatorial campaign and sent staffers fleeing from his team, according to a report from Axios on Sunday. “We want a full house cleaning. Get the garbage out of here,” one House Democrat told the outlet. “These jerks are destroying Congress, for the American people and for all of us who came here to do good work.” More representatives may be joining Swalwell on the chopping block, too. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said on Saturday she planned on forcing a vote to boot Swalwell when lawmakers return to Washington, D.C. next week, following the sexual assault and misconduct claims that were made against him. Axios reported Democrats plan to counter that ove with a vote to expel Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX). “If those votes succeed — which may be a long-shot, given that expulsion requires a two-thirds majority in the House — votes to expel Reps. Cory Mills (R-FL.) and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) could follow, sources said,” reporter Andrew Solender wrote. He added: “Lawmakers in both parties are exasperated with recent ethics and sex scandals, and some are privately entertaining the catharsis of a proverbial bloodletting.” The report comes two days after a former staffer accused Swalwell of raping her twice in a report from the San Francisco Chronicle. CNN reported later on Friday that multiple women had accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct, including the woman mentioned in the Chronicle report, who said he raped her in 2019 and another time during a trip to New York City in 2024; the Manhattan District Attorney’s office on Saturday announced it was launching a probe into the 2024 rape accusation. “I remember the next day, I can see flashes of that evening, of him on top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive — it was aggressive,” the accuser told CNN’s Pamela Brown about one of the alleged rapes. Her face was kept in the dark on camera. “Did you say no?” Brown asked her. “Yes, I said no. In the flash that I can recall, I was pushing him off of me saying ‘no,’” the accuser said. Swalwell told the Chronicle, “These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor.” The Democratic lawmaker — who is running to replace Gavin Newsom (D) as… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
