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.

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.

A federal judge on Monday denied the appeal of former Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, who was seeking to overturn a jury’s guilty verdict against her.

Dugan was convicted last year of obstructing federal immigration enforcement efforts for helping an undocumented man who was appearing in her courtroom go out a side door to evade immediate detection by federal agents. After a trial in December, she was found guilty of felony obstruction of justice and not guilty of a misdemeanor charge alleging she concealed an undocumented person from arrest.

One of President Donald Trump's former national security advisors made a staggering prediction about the president's latest threat to destroy Iran's "civilization" if a deal to end the war is not reached.

On Tuesday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social that a "whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" if Iran does not agree to a deal to end the war. The threat follows Trump's previous statement that he plans to attack civilian infrastructure like bridges and water systems.

President Donald Trump's war with Iran is too much for self-described white supremacist Nick Fuentes to handle.

During a new episode of his podcast "America First" on Tuesday, Fuentes reflected on an Easter threat Trump sent to Iran via his Truth Social platform.

President Donald Trump is aware of a Pakistani proposal for a 2-week ceasefire in Iran in exchange for opening the Strait of Hormuz.

"Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in [the] near future," Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced Tuesday on X. "To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open [the] Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture."

A group of historians has filed suit against the Trump administration over a scheme they fear could be used to give President Donald Trump a free pass to rerun his scheme of removing thousands of documents to his home at Mar-a-Lago in South Florida.

According to Lawfare's Anna Bower, "Historians [sued] over [the Office of Legal Counsel] opinion claiming that the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional. Suit seeks declaration that the PRA is constitutional — and an injunction to bar Trump from taking Presidential records at conclusion of his term in office."
