US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, was booed and heckled at a UN event for students when he referred to Trump's "peacemaking".

It is reported that Trump wants the US to benefit from tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

"In front of the president and his other advisers, Mr. Vance warned that the conflict could cause regional chaos and untold casualties, break apart the president’s political coalition, and be seen as a betrayal by voters who had supported the promise of no new wars. He stressed the depletion of U.S. munitions and the risk of outsized and unpredictable retaliation given that the regime’s survival was at stake. He also warned about the Strait of Hormuz and the likelihood of soaring gasoline prices." "When advisers raised the possibility that Iran could shut down the Strait of Hormuz — a choke point for vast quantities of global oil and gas — Mr. Trump dismissed the possibility, assuming the regime would capitulate before it came to that"

"New details from the weeks leading up to the campaign show how President Trump’s alignment with Benjamin Netanyahu and a lack of sustained opposition from his inner circle put the United States on a course to war." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/politics/trump-iran-war-takeaways.html "The first two objectives laid out in the Israeli pitch — killing the ayatollah and crippling Iran’s ability to threaten its neighbors — were achievable, U.S. intelligence officials concluded. The second two goals presented by Mr. Netanyahu and his team — a popular uprising inside Iran and the replacement of the Islamic government by a new secular leader — were not. The C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe, used a single word to describe the regime-change scenarios: “farcical.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio translated, “In other words, it’s bullshit.” Mr. Trump absorbed the assessment — and moved past it. Regime change, he said, would be “their problem.” His interest in killing Iran’s top leaders and dismantling its military remained undimmed."

What about trying the plug-in panels that will be in the shops soon ? Just as a taster. Up to 800 watts, will run most non-heating domestic devices, and can be linked to battery storage.

No, thst's his FSB handler. On the subject of Pam Bondi, there are strong rumours she could be facing disbarrment by the Florida State Bar Association.

Bibi is just enjoying blowing things up for the sake of it, and Donnie is acting like a petulant child on the beach kicking over everybody else's sandcastles because he can't get what he wants. If Iran's nuclear capability has been OBLITERATED, ( again ), it's navy and airforce rendered useless, and most military command centres flattened, what exactly is the point of continuing to bomb ? Donnie the great peacemaker, who personally ended so many conflicts that they have to invent new awards to congratulate him, is incapable of ending the one war he started.
