Overview
- President Trump announced a two-week pause on planned military strikes on Iran, calling it a double-sided ceasefire and citing progress on a 10-point proposal.
- Iran said it will allow ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz during the pause under its military control, and the strait carries about one-fifth of global oil shipments.
- Before the pause, Trump warned he would hit Iran’s bridges and power plants and wrote that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if his demands were not met.
- Earlier, Megyn Kelly told her audience she would still vote Republican even if Trump used a nuclear weapon, as she criticized Democrats on her show.
- Kelly later called Trump’s Iran post “irresponsible” and “disgusting,” a shift highlighted differently by outlets, with the New York Post emphasizing her loyalty remark and Raw Story foregrounding her rebuke.
