Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir in a statement: "The extensive damage we have caused to the Iranian regime in the last three weeks is beginning to accumulate into a systemic-strategic, military, economic, and governmental achievement. The regime of evil is weaker, Iran is more exposed, and without significant defense capability"

Reporter: The Pope called for a ceasefire.

Trump: I don't want a ceasefire.
Reporter: Pope Leo calls for a ceasefire and the renewal of dialogue. What do you say to Pope Leo?
Trump: Well, look, we can have dialogue, but I don't want to make a ceasefire. You know, you don't make a ceasefire when you are really wiping out the other side. They have no navy. They have no air force. They have no equipment. They have no observers. They have no air defense system. They have no radar. And all their leaders have been killed at all levels. We're not looking to do that. Thank you. Thank you.

Written: The President: Do you think Israel will be ready to end the war when you are ready?

Trump: I think so, yes, the relationship is a very good one, I think so. We want more or less the same things. You know what we want? We want victory, both of us. And that's what we have.

After three weeks of war, the Trump Administration has begun initial discussions on the next phase and what peace talks with Iran might look like, with talks involving Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge told Axios.

There has been no direct contact between the U.S. and Iran in recent days, though Egypt, Qatar and the U.K. have all passed messages between two countries, with Egypt and Qatar informing the U.S. and Israel that there is interest to negotiate from Iran.

“Our view is we've stunted Iran's growth,” said one U.S. official who believes the Iranians will come to the table. The official said the U.S. wants Iran to make six commitments:

1. No missile program for five years.
2. Zero uranium enrichment.
3. Decommissioning of the reactors at the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities that the U.S. and Israel bombed last year.
4. Strict outside observation protocols around the creation and use of centrifuges and related machinery that could advance a nuclear weapons program.
5. Arms control treaties with regional countries that include a missile cap no higher than 1,000.
6. No financing for proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen or Hamas in Gaza.

“We are halfway through the war. This Passover we will again be fighting for our future and freedom.”

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir delivered a message to the nation this evening, explaining that the war against Iran and its proxies is at about the midway point.

Key points from the address:

🔹 Iran fired a multi-stage ballistic missile at Diego Garcia, a target nearly 4,000 kilometers away. Such weapons were not produced to attack Israel, which is much closer. They were produced to threaten Europe and the United States.

🔹 Israeli and US airstrikes have significantly degraded the Iranian regime and its military capabilities.

🔹 Israeli forces have established strong forward defensive positions deep inside Lebanon, and are taking the initiative against Hezbollah forces.

🔹 The war will last through the Passover holiday.

Waited too long

In a post moment ago on TruthSocial, U.S. President Donald J. Trump states that if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, then the United States will hit and “obliterate” power plants across Iran.

Trump: We erased Iran from the map. We are weeks ahead of schedule.

The IDF has started a wave of attacks in Tehran.

Spokesperson for the Central Command of Khatam al-Anbiya in Iran:

"If Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, all energy infrastructures, information technology systems, and desalination facilities belonging to the United States and the regime in the region will be targeted."

Exactly 💯

Report in Daily Mail: The British nuclear submarine HMS Anson has arrived in the Arabian Sea, and it is capable of launching attacks on Iran if the situation escalates.

Iran responds to Trump's threat: The Strait of Hormuz remains open to all maritime traffic, except those related to "Iran's enemies"

The Iranian news agency "Mehr" expands the Iranian response to the ultimatum published last night by Trump: "Say goodbye to electricity," it says, and a map was published showing power stations in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait as potential targets for retaliatory attacks. "About 70%-80% of the large power stations in the region were built along the shores of the Persian Gulf. Many of these infrastructures are located less than 50 km from the coast - all within Iran's firing range," it says.

A senior Iranian security-political official told the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel last night: Iran has set six conditions for a ceasefire, "within the framework of a new strategic legal equation": guarantees that the war will not resume, the closure of US military bases in the region, payment of compensation to Iran for the damage caused by the attacks, ending the wars on all fronts in the region, enforcement of a new legal order in the Strait of Hormuz, and bringing to justice hostile media personnel against Iran and extraditing them to it.
