- Trump Declares ‘Big Money’ Will Be Made Following Last-Minute Deal With Iran...
(AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) President Donald Trump declared a “Golden Age of the Middle East!!!” — complete with three exclamation points — could be on the horizon after striking a last-minute deal to halt his planned pummeling of Iran, right before his 8:00 p.m. deadline on Tuesday night. The president seemed to be in a chipper mood in a Truth Social post just after midnight on Wednesday. Trump proclaimed it had been a “big day for World Peace!” and that all countries “have had enough” of the war. To expedite the aforementioned golden age, Trump said the United States will be “hangin’ around” the Strait of Hormuz to make sure everything goes smoothly, adding there is “big money” to be made. You can read Trump’s full post below: 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 Trump’s late-night announcement comes a few hours after he said he was postponing his scheduled destruction of Iran for two weeks. Trump had threatened to wipe out Iran’s power plants and bridges if it did not “open the F*ckin'” Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday night. The ceasefire followed an absolutely manic news day — even by the standards of the last decade — that started with the president saying he was ready to wipe out Iran if a deal was not reached. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Trump posted on Tuesday morning. “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” That post led to dozens of Democratic lawmakers insisting Trump be removed from office ASAP; former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also called for the 25th Amendment to be used against Trump. Trump then announced at 6:32 p.m. ET on Tuesday that he had reached a deal with Iran, thanks in part to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s help.

CNN commentator Scott Jennings endorsed President Donald Trump’s threat to annihilate Iranian civilization on Tuesday, stating that he was not going to “second-guess” the president. Earlier in the day, Trump fired off an unhinged post threatening the Iranians with destruction. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” Hours later, the president said he agreed to a ceasefire with Iran, about 90 minutes before he had pledged to attack Iran’s civilian infrastructure if the country did not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. In his announcement, the president claimed Iran was opening the strait immediately. However, the AP reported that Iran will continue tolling vessels in exchange for safe passage.” On Tuesday’s CNN NewsNight, guest Tara Setmayer confronted Jennings with Trump’s remarks. “But why can’t you just acknowledge that what Donald Trump said this morning was abhorrent and that no president should ever threaten annihilating a civilization?” she asked. “Why can’t you just acknowledge that?” “Look, he’s talking to them in the way he thinks he needs to talk to them,” Jennings insisted. “Why can’t you acknowledge that that is something that no president of the United States should say?” Setmayer asked. After some crosstalk, host Abby Phillip jumped in: PHILLIP: Let me ask a final question, Scott. For the record, do you think it’s acceptable for the president to threaten to annihilate a civilization? JENNINGS: I think it’s acceptable for the commander-in-chief to deal with these people in the best way that he can. PHILLIP: Is that a yes or a no? [CROSSTALK] PHILLIP: Is that yes or is it a no? Is that is a yes or is it no? SETMAYER: So that’s a yes. JENNINGS: I’m not gonna second-guess him. I’m not gonna second-guess him. PHILLIP: That’s a yes. JENNINGS: He put out a statement. We now have a ceasefire. Those are the two things that I– PHILLIP: I just wanted to ask for the record. That’s a yes on your part. We’ll leave it there. Watch above via CNN.The post Scott Jennings Says ‘I’m Not Gonna Second-Guess’ Trump’s Threat To Slaughter ‘A Whole Civilization’ first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago - Abby Phillip Challenges Pro-Trump Panelists: ‘How About You Guys Actually Deal...CNN host Abby Phillip hammered supporters of President Donald Trump’s attitude towards Iran on Tuesday, asking former gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel and CNN’s Scott Jennings to “actually deal with reality.” The panelists joined Phillip on NewsNight to discuss President Donald Trump’s war with Iran and his announcement on Tuesday of a two week ceasefire after his previous threats to bomb civilian targets in Iran if a deal was not reached by 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Jennings said that the most important element of the deal to watch was the future of Iran’s nuclear program, claiming that was the purpose for the conflict initially. “The president drew a red line. They will never get a nuclear weapon. That’s why we were doing this, along with taking away their ability to export terror, the missile program, the aggressive Navy,” he said. Later in the segment, Madel referenced Jennings point, telling the group that the U.S. had severely degraded Iran’s military capacity. Phillip pointed to the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that despite the U.S. military wins, the conflict was far from settled. Read their exchange below: MADEL: Let’s not really forget what Scott’s point was though here. And I agree with you when we’re talking about messaging, you cannot possibly argue right now it has changed from day to day to day to day. But, let’s just one time in our history, in our recent history, let’s look at the long game for once. This is a country right now, one of the most evil nation states that has been on the planet. It has been severely degraded with respect to its nuclear capability. It has been severely degraded with respect to its missile capability. Its army has been severely degraded. When they talk about trying to keep the Strait of Hormuz, that we’re going to keep it closed with their military, what navy? There is no Iranian navy. PHILLIP: But they’re not keeping it closed with their navy. That’s not what they’re using. MADEL: For once, look at the long game here. We have made this region– PHILLIP: But Chris– MADEL: We’ve made this place a safer place. PHILLIP: But hold on, Chris. The thing that counters– [CROSSTALK] PHILLIP: The thing that counters your point is that the Strait of Hormuz right now, as we speak, is closed. MADEL: It is. PHILLIP: So if you’re saying that all the things that we have done, they have… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago
- Hannity Awkwardly Tells DeSantis, ‘I Didn’t Know That It Was Legal to Marry ...Fox News host Sean Hannity awkwardly told Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday that he “didn’t know that it was legal to marry a first cousin” in the governor’s state of Florida. DeSantis joined Hannity to discuss a new Florida law allowing him and other state officials to designate certain groups as terrorist organizations in an attempt to combat what the governor’s press release on the legislation called “the application of foreign and religious laws—including Sharia law—that violate constitutional rights.” On the heels of the bill signing on Monday, DeSantis also urged state lawmakers to ban marriage between first cousins in Florida. Hannity asked the governor about his push to end the practice, leading to an incredibly odd exchange between the two. Read their exchange below: HANNITY: This week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is urging state lawmakers to ban first cousin marriages, a practice that is shockingly still legal and one he links to what he is calling “stealth jihad,” and he also signed a law empowering him and other state leaders to designate groups as terrorist organizations. Here with more is the governor himself, the governor of my free state of Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis. Governor, good to see you. Um, maybe I’m just a little ignorant here. I didn’t know that it was legal to marry a first cousin. DESANTIS: Well, in a lot of states, it’s not. Florida needs to get with the program on that one. It’s obviously part of cultures that are antithetical to American values, and so that’s something that we will get done one way or another. But on the broader issue of not allowing Islamist groups to get public money from things in Florida, whether it’s education or any of the other things that we’re doing, you’ve got to draw very clear red line, and the red line I’ve drawn is we’ll spend millions on public safety, millions on education, but not one cent for jihad. And so we have to identify groups that are supporting these organizations. And it may not be that they’re personally committing attacks, but if they’re funding them for providing material support, you know, that’s something that our state has got to recognize and then act appropriately, and in the legislation I did also has a ban on any use of sharia law not just at the state level. We don’t want to end up like Europe, where they… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago
- Trump Accuses CNN of Airing a ‘False Statement’ From Iran in Heated Truth So...President Donald Trump is lashing out at CNN for airing a statement from Iran on the newly-announced ceasefire — which the network insists is indeed genuine. In a heated post on Truth Social Tuesday night, the president ripped CNN for reading on air a statement he dismissed as a “FRAUD.” “The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows,” Trump wrote. “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.” The statement Trump was referencing came from Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, who said the following: In response to the brotherly request of PM Sharif in his tweet, and considering the request by the U.S. for negotiations based on its 15-point proposal as well as announcement by POTUS about acceptance of the general framework of Iran’s 10-point proposal as a basis for negotiations, I hereby declare on behalf of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council: If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations. For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations Approximately 20 minutes into her show on Tuesday night, CNN’s Erin Burnett read from that statement. But she also read from a second statement sourced to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. That statement was more strongly-worded and had a distinctly more pro-Iran bent — with the council declaring “great victory.” Burnett did not quote that particular comment, but did refer to some of the council’s stronger claims. “‘The regulated passage through the Strait of Hormuz, under the coordination of the armed forces of Iran — thereby conferring upon Iran a unique economic and geopolitical standing,’ — which sounds like in a translation, Iran saying that they see this as acknowledgment that they control… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago
- Confusion Ensues Amid Contradictory Claims About Ceasefire
Sipa via AP Images A “regional official” is claiming Iran will continue to charge tolls for cargo ships using the Strait of Hormuz following President Donald Trump announcing a two-week ceasefire. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday shortly after Trump’s announcement about an extension that both Iran and Oman will continue to “charge fees on ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz,” citing a “regional official.” Iran has been charging tolls for weeks in the strait, since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes, where roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil supply moves through. The official, who was reportedly involved in U.S. and Iran negotiations, claimed the money raised would be used for “reconstruction.” But in his post announcing the ceasefire, Trump claimed Iran agreed “to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.” In a Tuesday morning Truth Social post, Trump threatened to wipe out Iranian “civilization” if U.S. demands, like opening the Strait of Hormuz, were not met by an 8 p.m. deadline. Trump later extended the deadline by two weeks after accepting a proposal from Pakistan, which has been mediating negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. Trump wrote: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! Trump said later he received a 10-point proposal from Iran that he believes is a “workable basis” for negotiations going forward. “We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate,” he wrote. “Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.” Trump’s White House lashed out at CNN over the posting of a statement from an Iranian official claiming victory over the U.S. ATTENTION @cnni: As @POTUS just said, Iran’s official statement is linked in his TRUTH below AND posted by the Iranian foreign minister.… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago
