🚨 TRUMP WARNS IRAN ON NUCLEAR DEAL AS U.S. MAINTAINS BLOCKADE, CENTCOM BOARDS VESSEL, AND ISRAEL SIGNALS LEBANON DEADLINE
‼️ TRUMP STATEMENTS ON IRAN AND GERMANY: President Trump posted on Truth Social: "Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon! President DJT"
He also stated: "German Chancellor Friedrich Merz thinks it is OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. He doesn't know what he is talking about! If Iran had a nuclear weapon, the whole world would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other nations, or presidents, should have done long ago. No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both economically, and otherwise".
♟️ U.S. STRATEGY AND IRANIAN RESPONSE: President Trump has decided to continue a long-term blockade on Iran instead of escalating military action or ending the conflict, according to The Wall Street Journal.
CNN, citing sources, reports that Iran is expected to present a revised proposal to mediators in Pakistan within the next few days.
U.S. intelligence agencies are assessing how Iran might respond if President Trump declares victory and scales back the ongoing war. Early assessments suggest Iran could view a U.S. withdrawal as a victory, according to Reuters.
🔱 CENTCOM BOARDING IN THE ARABIAN SEA: CENTCOM stated: "Earlier today in the Arabian Sea, U.S. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded M/V Blue Star III, a commercial ship suspected of attempting to transit to Iran in violation of the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. U.S. forces released the vessel after conducting a search and confirming the ship's voyage would not include an Iranian port call".
⚠️ ISRAEL SIGNALS LEBANON DEADLINE: An Israeli official told the Broadcasting Authority: "We gave Lebanon two weeks to reach an agreement through negotiations before returning to fighting. Our problem is that the decision-maker on the ceasefire with Lebanon is Trump".
🛡️ IDF RADAR DEPLOYMENT AND HOME FRONT STATUS: The IDF has decided to deploy various types of radars on a wide scale inside Lebanon, according to Israeli Army Radio.
Following a situational assessment, Home Front Command defensive guidelines remain unchanged and in effect until Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
