Trump Says Iran Counterpart Allegedly “Agrees” to No Nukes After Initiating Talks — Says U.S. Will Seize Enriched Uranium: “We’ll Go Down and Take It Ourselves”

President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on Monday, signaling what could be a historic shift in the Middle East while delivering a stark warning to the Iranian regime: no nukes — or else.
On Monday morning, President Trump wrote on Truth Social that the U.S. had “very good and productive conversations” with Iran.
In the post, the 47th President stated, “I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”
He added, “I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period.”
Several Iranian state media outlets have since denied having any talks with the Trump administration and cited quotes from the Foreign Ministry in Tehran.
In response to Iranian media reports denying that the talks took place, Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that he was unsure what Iran’s media was talking about, and that conversations did take place last night between Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner with Iranian representatives.
Bartiromo: “I just spoke with President Trump and he told me that Iran wants to make a deal badly … he said the most recent talks happened last night with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and their counterparts. With Iranian TV saying no talks have happened, the president said it’s hard to get information there because the US is blowing up so much of their infrastructure”
On his way to Memphis, Trump revealed that ongoing negotiations with Iran have reached a critical stage, with Tehran allegedly agreeing to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
Trump also revealed the U.S. would physically take control of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, the “nuclear dust” that could have fueled a bomb.
Iran International reported:
Trump said the central condition of any agreement would be that Iran abandon its nuclear program.
“They’re not going to have nuclear weapons anymore. They’re agreeing to that,” he said.
He added that if a deal is reached, the United States would take control of Iran’s enriched uranium. “We’ll go down and we’ll take it ourselves,” he said.
Trump also said he believed recent US military strikes had significantly set back Iran’s nuclear capabilities, warning that without such action Tehran could have developed a weapon within weeks.
“If we didn’t hit them … they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks to a month,” he said.
[…]
The president said he supported allowing Iranian oil already at sea to enter global markets, arguing that increasing supply would help stabilize the system.
“I just want to have as much oil in the system as possible,” Trump said, adding it was unclear how much revenue Iran would ultimately receive.
“Any small amount of money that Iran gets is not going to have any difference in this war,” he said.
President Trump outlined Washington’s terms for any breakthrough: Iran must permanently forgo nuclear weapons, halt uranium enrichment, curb its missile program, and surrender its existing stockpile of enriched material.

President Trump Fires 6 More Immigration Judges For Blocking Deportations


President Trump fired six more immigration judges for blocking deportations.
On Friday, the president fired four immigration judges and continued his spree of firings on Saturday and fired two more.
According to The New York Times, Trump fired two of the immigration judges on Saturday for blocking the deportations of two pro-Palestinian activists.
Exclusive: The Trump administration has fired two immigration judges who blocked the deportations of Rumeysa Ozturk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two int’l students who expressed pro-Palestinian views. Four other judges were fired on Friday too.

In December, President Trump fired eight immigration judges in New York City.
A fired immigration judge described the firings as a “Monday afternoon massacre.”
“The court has been eviscerated,” Olivia Cassin, another immigration judge who was fired in November told The New York Times. “It feels like a Monday afternoon massacre.”
More than 100 immigration judges have been fired or resigned since President Trump took office this year.
In July, 20 immigration judges were fired.
A few of the federal immigration judges recently fired by the Trump Administration over e-mail lashed out at Trump in an interview with CBS Evening News.
Three of the fired judges – George Pappas, Jennifer Peyton and Carla Espinoza – spoke to CBS about their terminations. The disgruntled judges claimed they were politically pressured by the Trump Administration to grant motions to dismiss cases.
“It was arbitrary, unfair,” George Pappas told CBS News of his abrupt firing. “And it’s an attack on the rule of law. It’s an attack on judges.”
“My email was three sentences,” Jennifer Peyton whined. “I had no cause. I had no explanation.”
“We as judges, were in fear, we were concerned,” Carla Espinoza said. “That makes it very difficult to be impartial. We were not succumbing to that pressure but it does feel like pressure.”
Payton whined that once the illegal alien left the courtroom, ICE would handcuff them and whisk them away.

JUST IN: Failing British PM Starmer Refuses To Help Enforce US Navy’s Strait of Hormuz Blockade

British PM and Labour Leader Keir Starmer
As Trump has said, Starmer ‘is no Winston Churchill’.
With the breakdown in peace negotiations between the US and Iran, President Donald J. Trump has determined that the US Navy will implement a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
And, to no one’s surprise, this announcement was followed by a reaction from failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who refused to join the blockade.
Apart from being another instance in which the Labour party leader fails to live up to his duty to his main ally, the US, it is also a black eye on the British Royal Navy and its much-degraded capabilities.
BREAKING: The UK will not be involved in a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Sky News understands.
Earlier today, Donald Trump said the U.S. Navy would be blocking the critical shipping route.

— Sky News (@SkyNews) April 12, 2026
Trump ordered tankers to be stopped from entering or leaving the key oil and gas shipping lane.
The Telegraph reported:
“However, The Telegraph understands that Britain will not play a role in enforcing the blockade.
[…] Downing Street said the UK was ‘urgently working with France and other partners to put together a wide coalition to protect freedom of navigation’.
Britain has mine-hunting systems in the region that could be used to help clear the strait of naval mines laid by Iran, Sir Keir said.”
Trump’s plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz would halt the nearly 2 million barrels a day of Iranian oil that’s been passing through the waterway, further squeezing global supply and cutting off a vital lifeline for the country. https://t.co/JZtXyYBd8w

Meanwhile, Trump continued his attacks on Starmer, comparing him to the infamous British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who chose appeasement of the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler in the 1930’s.

“Very disappointing – I mean, look at the United Kingdom. PM Starmer said ‘we’ll send the equipment after the war is over’. I said ‘you don’t need equipment when the war is over. You need the equipment before the war starts, or during the war’… He made a public statement that ‘we will send equipment after the war is over’, that’s a Neville Chamberlain statement.”

Massive Protests Over Fuel Prices Are Ongoing in Ireland Among Police and Army Crackdown on Roadblocks (VIDEOS)

Between road blockages and popular demonstrations, the protests keep growing
Ireland has awakened.
The massive fuel price protests began on April 7, 2026, and are now today (12) in their sixth day.
While it’s fair to say that the fuel spike we are witnessing is caused by the military conflict in Iran and the closure of the vital waterways of the Strait of Hormuz, that is not the entire story.
What we are seeing is the action of ordinary Irish truckers, farmers, transporters, taxi and bus drivers that are pushing back against suicidal ‘green’ policies implemented by the Irish government.
These policies, as they are, align with international climate commitments, including the EU’s net-zero agenda and carbon pricing mechanisms.
Protesters explicitly demand the suspension or removal of the carbon tax on fuels — especially agricultural diesel.
Protesters are also calling for resuming domestic oil exploration off Ireland’s west coast, whereas current policies restrict fossil fuel development in favor of ‘rapid decarbonization’.

The protests involve drivers blocking major roadways, fuel depots, ports, and even Ireland’s only oil refinery in Whitegate, Cork.
Today (12), Ireland’ Garda used pepper spray and made arrests to clear protesters blockading the refinery.
Deutsche Welle reported:
“Authorities moved in to disperse the protesters to restore supplies after five days of nationwide demonstrations over soaring fuel prices.
Law enforcers, supported by armed forces personnel, moved in to reopen the Whitegate refinery in County Cork and escort fuel trucks on Saturday.
After Ireland’s Defense Forces joined the police in clearing the protests, Irish police chief Justin Kelly said on Saturday that the fuel protesters’ actions were ‘endangering the state’.”

But despite the police action, Seven Irish motorways remain BLOCKED.
The Sun reported:
IRISH commuters are being warned to expect significant delays today – as the fuel protests continue for the sixth day. Public transport is also facing delays on its major services amid the fuel protests, including blockades and limited fuel supplies.
Dublin’s M50, the biggest motorway in the country, was cleared in the early hours of this morning as part of Garda operations to remove blockage and restore access to the public.”
