President Donald Trump's threats to commit war crimes and genocide against the people of Iran, only to back down at the last second and agree to a deal that gives Iran more leverage than they had when the war started in the first place, has been a disaster, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told CNN's Erin Burnett on Tuesday evening.

In fact, he said, it merits serious consideration of the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.

A bipartisan immigration reform bill gaining House sponsors has pitted some MAGA lawmakers against each other in open warfare.

The DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act, sponsored by Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Veronica Escobar (D-TX), contains a balanced package of immigration priorities for both parties, toughening up border security and requiring all employers use the E-Verify system to screen workers for legal status, while also creating a pathway to legal residency, protections for "Dreamers," higher visa caps, and legal counsel and mental health care for detainees in border processing facilities.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday night that "authorities" are investigating CNN for allegedly publishing a "false" statement from the Iranian regime.

Trump announced that Iran and the U.S. had agreed to a two-week ceasefire agreement in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. CNN reported that Iran had claimed it achieved a "great victory" in the conflict, and that the country had forced Trump to relent and lift all sanctions against Iran.

President Donald Trump's threats to obliterate Iran with a total bombing campaign drew fierce condemnation from Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday, who proclaimed, “This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people,” and that “attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

Not long after this repudiation, Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran that at least delays this threat.

Political analysts and observers were taken aback on Tuesday after the initial details of President Donald Trump's announced ceasefire with Iran were released.

The New York Times reported that some of the ceasefire provisions include the U.S. agreeing not to attack Iran again and lifting all sanctions on Iranian oil, including those that were put in place by George W. Bush's administration. The details emerged after Trump announced Iran and the U.S. had agreed to a two-week ceasefire just an hour ahead of Trump's self-imposed deadline to reach a deal.

President Donald Trump just handed the Iranian regime a massive "strategic victory" after retreating from his previous threats, according to one expert.

Trump announced a two-week ceasefire to the more than five-week-old war in Iran on Truth Social on Tuesday. The announcement came about one hour before Trump's self-imposed deadline for a deal to be reached, and just a few hours after he threatened to destroy the Iranian civilization in a separate Truth Social post.

President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire "deal" with Iran with just hours to go before his threatened deadline to wipe the country off the map, essentially proclaiming a set of conditions proposed by Pakistan that Iran had already largely rejected, in exchange for two weeks of paused hostilities to allow shipping traffic to move through the Strait of Hormuz.

It is unclear whether the ceasefire will have any actual effect on the Iranian side, but the upshot appears to be that Trump will not launch his carpet-bombing campaign at least for the time being. And this prompted an immediate reaction on social media.

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement freaked out on Tuesday after Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran.

"Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

One of just four House Democrats who voted against constraining President Donald Trump's war powers in response to the escalation in Iran was Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), a moderate to conservative-leaning Democrat in a Trump-voting congressional district stretching from San Antonio to Laredo.

But with Trump's latest remarks that Iran's "whole civilization will die tonight" if the country's leaders don't acquiesce to his demands, Cuellar has changed his mind — and vowed in a new statement to back any upcoming war powers resolution.

President Donald Trump backed down from his prior threats to destroy the nation of Iran in a lengthy post to Truth Social on Tuesday, proclaiming the deadline has been delayed as a result of a deal to get shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz moving again.

"Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," said Trump.

A historian flagged a hidden message buried in President Donald Trump's "extremely grave" threat to Iran.

On Tuesday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," a thinly veiled reference to the U.S. destroying Iran in response to the country shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's threat sent shockwaves throughout the world, with several lawmakers calling on the president to be removed via the 25th Amendment.

A pair of Republican lawmakers broke ranks on Tuesday to bash President Donald Trump's latest threat to Iran.

Trump threatened to destroy the entire Iranian "civilization" in a Truth Social post on Tuesday morning if the Iranian regime did not agree to a deal to end the war by the 8:00 p.m. ET deadline that Trump set. Trump has said negotiations are ongoing, and sources told CNN that a deal seems likely to be approved before the deadline.
