- NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute: President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan. According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war:
- Following claims earlier today by U.S. President Donald J. Trump that the United Kingdom and other countries will send minesweepers to the Middle East to assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the British Government has announced that it is trying to bring together a “wide coalition” with France and others to ensure freedom of navigation through the waterway near Iran...

- A U.S. official details the U.S. "red lines" in the talks with Iran: Ending all uranium enrichment. Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities (which are mostly destroyed). Retrieve highly enriched uranium. Accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies. End funding for terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Fully open the Strait of Hormuz, charging no tolls for passage. One gap in the talks was the amount of Iranian frozen funds that will be released, per source with knowledge.
- Breaking: The Iranian delegation held a detailed round of talks with Pakistan’s top leadership, led by Asim Munir, on Sunday ahead of their departure from Islamabad, as diplomatic efforts gathered pace. Diplomatic sources indicate momentum is building for the next phase, with US-Iran talks likely to resume in the coming days under Pakistan’s facilitation — either in Islamabad or at an alternate venue in Europe— following the latest round of negotiations that ended without a deal but left the door open for continued engagement.

- Remember credit default swaps? The thing that blew up the world in 2008? They were so dangerous regulators spent years trying to rein them in. Wall Street just brought them back for a new sector. S&P Dow Jones is launching a credit default swap index tied to 25 North American financial firms, including giants like Blackstone, Ares Capital and Apollo. Major banks start selling it next week. Here's why it matters: private credit has been on shaky ground...
- BREAKING: Iran releases a blistering statement after 21 hours of talks collapse in Islamabad: "The American enemy, which is vile, wicked and dishonest, attempted to achieve on the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. Iran has decided to reject these terms and continue the sacred defense of its fatherland by any means necessary, military or diplomatic." That's the IRGC calling the United States "vile, wicked and dishonest" minutes after Vance boarded Air Force Two. They say the U.S. demanded Iran hand over enriched uranium and give up sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said no to both. This statement wasn't written after the talks failed. This was written before they started.
- Lebanon was the deal-breaker nobody is talking about enough... The nuclear issue and Hormuz get the headlines. But according to sources inside the talks, a critical breakdown came over Lebanon. The U.S. offered to convince Israel to stop strikes in Beirut first, then "gradually expand" the pause to southern Lebanon and the rest of the country. Iran wanted an immediate, full ceasefire across all of Lebanon. They couldn't bridge that gap. This is the pattern playing out exactly as predicted throughout this war.
- Netanyahu from South Lebanon: "The war in Lebanon will continue." Ok.... and what about the Iran ceasefire? Who's calling the shots??
- Russia is now protecting its oil with warships... this isn't going to end well. Fed up with other countries taking its shadow tankers, Putin's Northern Fleet destroyer Severomorsk is now patrolling off the coasts of Denmark and Germany. (video)

- This should be headline news EVERYWHERE. A Pfizer insider who was former head of toxicology in Europe has just come out and said something that many "conspiracy theorists" suspected. He estimates that 20 000 to 60 000 people in Germany have died from the c*vid vaccine. This was said at a parliamentary enquiry commission in Germany. So why isn't this massive news being reported everywhere? Is the mainstream media that has recieved millions in funding from Bill Gates deliberately covering this up...

- @HormuzLetter
- WATCH: Iran has released footage of yesterday’s IRGC Navy confrontation with US destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz, ordering the US ships to “alter course and go back to the Indian Ocean immediately” or be “targeted,” and issuing a “last warning” before threatening to open fire. The IRGC also broadcast a warning to all vessels in the Oman Sea to stay more than 10 miles away from any warship. The release preceded President Trump’s announcement of a US Navy blockade of the strait by roughly two hours. (video)

- BREAKING: Iran says that if Trump carries out his Strait of Hormuz blockade on April 13th, Iran will respond by taking control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to the Red Sea with the Houthis. This would cut off another 12% of global energy supply, bringing the total shortfall to 32%.

- BREAKING: On the order of U.S. President Trump, all ships that have paid tolls to, or have been permitted by, the Islamic regime of Iran to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will be sunk by the U.S. Navy once they attempt to enter or exit the Persian Gulf. For this purpose, two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers of the U.S. Navy—USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) and USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG-121)—are now positioned near the Strait of Hormuz and are tasked with confronting any commercial vessel attempting to enter or leave. The Iranian Navy warned these ships when they tried to pass through the Hormuz Strait. (video)

- The Eric Swalwell situation is a Prime example of how effective and ruthless the Democrat Party is. Eric was infiltrated by a Chinese Spy in his rise to power. No Problem. Eric has been an awful person both policy wise AND on a personal level,(as the latest allegations seem to validate), for 13 years in Congress. No Problem. Eric Decides to Run for Governor in CA and now with all of the Democrats in the Primary, his presence will likely cost Democrats the Governors Office with their goofy Primary System. Once he is no longer an asset for them, open up the closet and watch the skeletons they ignored for decades fall out. The Speed and effectiveness is astounding...the politicians and the media ruin the dude in a day. None of this is new, none of this is "shocking", they decided he is no longer useful and they curb stomped him. There is a lesson there for everyone on the left, but I don't think they will see it.

- MAJOR BREAKING: The woman accusing Eric Swalwell of rape just sat down with CNN. In her own words: “I went to the bathroom. I don’t remember anything after that.” “I can see flashes of that evening. Him on top of me. Me pushing him off. Him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive.” She says he refused to stop. This is the leading Democratic candidate for California governor. CNN Investigates corroborated her account with medical records, text messages sent the same week, and interviews with her partner, mother, and two friends. Swalwell’s response was to send her a cease-and-desist letter the day after CNN contacted his campaign. One of his own staffers quit immediately after CNN sent questions to his office. (video)

- The helium collapse accelerates. All mass spec labs are about to go dark. Medical imaging, too, for those instruments that use helium. My lab has a 1-year supply of helium in place, because I saw this coming and ordered my analysts to stock up in early March. Apparently we got the last available "extra" helium in the supply chain. Now it's scarcity and, soon, panic.

- Stanley Kubrick didn't die of a heart attack. They k*lled him days after finishing "Eyes Wide Shut", a movie that shows the exact pedophile parties Epstein ran. Masked rich people, secret passwords, dark rituals, it's all there. Kubrick knew too much. The big orgy scene isn't made up, it's based on real elite parties at mansions like the Rotschilds estate used in the film. Blindfolds, robes, young girls traded like toys, just like Epstein's island. Kubrick 24 extra minutes naming names and showing faces. Studio bosses screamed at him: "You can't release this!" Four days later, he's dead.

- Tucker Carlson believes America is "moving toward one of two endpoints". "One is a totalitarian society, where... you have to obey, because you've got programmable digital currency and universal surveillance." "Or, we're going to have a revolution." "The current course won't work because it's a lie. If you tell people they own the government, they're in charge, they rule through the representatives in this democratic republic... and you don't deliver on it, they go crazy. They go totally crazy." "If you tell people they can't say what they think, and their vote doesn't matter, how many options have you left for them?" (video)
