Iran Appears to be Preparing for Trump to Follow Through with Threat

The Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in southwest Iran has been evacuated amid threats by President Donald Trump to bomb Iranian energy infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.

The zone’s public relations office said all personnel was ordered to evacuate by the region’s emergency command committee, Iran International reported.

Trump’s threats came amid Tehran’s reluctance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He set a Tuesday night deadline before warning of dire consequences. (Read more from “Iran Appears to be Preparing for Trump to Follow Through with Threat” HERE)

Trump Drops F Bomb In Easter Sunday Threat Against Iran

President Donald Trump delivered a profane warning to the Islamic Republic of Iran Saturday, demanding the theocratic regime cease its efforts to close a vital maritime shipping lane.

Trump previously delayed strikes on Iranian power plants, citing progress on talks made after he issued a March 21 ultimatum to Iran in a post on Truth Social. Trump has since warned Iran of another 48-hour deadline to make a deal. . .

Trump posted a similar warning on Saturday, as efforts to rescue the weapons systems officer of a downed F-15E Strike Eagle were underway. The missing weapons officer was rescued from inside Iran early Sunday in a daring operation. . .

The Strait of Hormuz is critical to global energy markets, as around 25% of seaborne oil transportation pass through the narrow sea passage. Energy prices across the globe have skyrocketed since Iran closed the strait to all but a few vessels. (Read more from “Trump Drops F Bomb In Easter Sunday Threat Against Iran” HERE)

Trump Says Regime’s Military Brass ‘Terminated’ in Strikes, Releases Explosion Video

President Donald Trump said multiple Iranian military leaders were “terminated” in a strike on Tehran, sharing video of what may have been the attack on Truth Social.

“Many of Iran’s Military Leaders, who have led them poorly and unwisely, are terminated, along with much else, with this massive strike in Tehran!” Trump wrote.

The post included footage appearing to show explosions in the Iranian capital, though details on the specific targets and casualties were not independently confirmed by Fox News Digital.

The claim comes amid a broader escalation in the conflict, with U.S. and Israeli strikes expanding across Iran and pressure mounting on Tehran to reach a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

‘Time Is Running Out’: Trump Warns Iran To Open Strait Of Hormuz Within 48 Hours

President Donald Trump gave Iran a final warning on Saturday to open the Strait of Hormuz or else “all Hell will reign down on them.”

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social.

This warning comes just days after the national average for a gallon of gas peaked over $4 per gallon — the highest since 2022 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Crude oil has also jumped to over $100 per barrel compared to around $70 prior to the beginning of the war.

Movement through the Strait is down more than 90% compared to March, according to the Economic Times. Although it is not fully closed, ship movement through this critical chokepoint has become heavily monitored and restricted.

Israel First Has Severed MAGA

In July of 2023, long before it became clear that Israel would become a defining topic of MAGA 2.0 and the Trump presidency, Tucker Carlson gave a speech at a Turning Point USA event when it was still uncontroversial for him to be there.

“What are the crimes that are punished?” Carlson asked the crowd. “Thought crimes. Thinking the ‘wrong’ thing. Having the ‘wrong’ beliefs. Saying unapproved words. And those words are always true.”

“How do you know what’s true? That’s a great question,” Carlson continued. “Who are the thought criminals and what are they saying?”

Tucker Carlson has certainly become the thought criminal he presciently described over two and a half years ago. And he’s perhaps committed the greatest sin of all in America: telling the truth when powerful people are not.

At the time of his speech, Oct. 7 hadn’t happened, Charlie Kirk was still alive and leading TPUSA, and Carlson had not yet campaigned alongside Donald Trump.

Fast forward to January 2025 and Trump — with the support of Carlson and a bipartisan coalition of other independent thinkers, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Marjorie Taylor Greene — arrived back at the White House with truly a once in a generation opportunity and the political capital to do the radically unthinkable in Washington: focus on America and the problems that ail us here.

Why President Trump Fired Pam Bondi

Rumors have swirled for months about President Donald Trump firing Attorney General (AG) Pam Bondi — and the president finally pulled the trigger Thursday.

Trump told Bondi Wednesday, before his big speech on Iran, that her time as AG was coming to an end. One White House official told the Daily Caller that there is no “bad blood” between the president and the AG, but that he was overall dissatisfied with her job performance.

The official added that the president had been mulling whether to fire Bondi or not for months as her mistakes added up.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche will take over in the interim, the president announced in a Truth Social post. While Blanche oversees the department, the White House official told the Caller the president is taking time to consider potential replacements, adding that there is no “urgency” to pick someone new.

A source familiar with the firing pushed back on the idea that Bondi wasn’t performing or prosecuting people quick enough. (Read more from “Why President Trump Fired Pam Bondi” HERE)

Pentagon Preparing for Weeks of Ground Operations in Iran — After Trump Warned Regime to ‘Get Serious’ About Peace Deal: Report

The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of boots on the ground operations in Iran, a major escalation in President Trump’s goal to dismantle the remaining faction of the murderous Iranian regime, according to a report.

Thousands of US Marines would be sent to the Middle East to conduct raids that include Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, the Washington Post reported, citing sources.

Officials have been discussing plans for sending troops into Iran for weeks.

American military operations entered their second month on Saturday, following the US-Israel joint attacks on Iranian military facilities and officials on Feb. 28, which saw the elimination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and approximately 40 senior leaders.

Trump has not publicly acknowledged the Pentagon’s proposal or whether he would approve any portion of the plans. (Read more from “Pentagon Preparing for Weeks of Ground Operations in Iran — After Trump Warned Regime to ‘Get Serious’ About Peace Deal: Report” HERE)

Trump Signs Order to Verify Mail-In Ballots Used by Eligible Voters

President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening signed an executive order focused on election integrity, including a measure to ensure that mail-in ballots are sent to eligible voters and returned by them.

Trump signed the order in the Oval Office while flanked by White House staff secretary Will Scharf and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese first reported that Trump was set to sign the order.

Scharf detailed the measures ahead of the signing.

“We’re going to take federal data, we’re going to ensure that each state’s election officials are provided with a comprehensive view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote,’ Scharf said of the first measure.

Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, in tandem with the Social Security Administration, is tasked with establishing “State Citizenship Lists” for each state. The lists will include U.S. citizens residing in that state who will be at least 18 at the time of the next federal election.

Trump Admits Ballroom Was Cover For Something Secret Buried Underneath

President Trump said late Sunday that his new White House ballroom will act as a “shed” for a “massive military complex” being built underneath.

“Now, the military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “But the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that’s under construction, and we’re doing very well.

“We have all bulletproof glass, we have drone-proof roofs, ceilings,” the president added. “Unfortunately, we’re living in an age when that’s a good thing.”

Before confirming the plans Sunday night, Trump said at a cabinet meeting Thursday that the military “wanted” the ballroom renovations “more than anybody.”

“It was supposed to be secret,” Trump said. “But it became unsecret because of people that are really unpatriotic saying things.” (Read more from “Trump Admits Ballroom Was Cover For Something Secret Buried Underneath” HERE)

Iran War, Epstein Files Causing Male Voters to Abandon Trump: Support has Cratered by an Astonishing 20 Points

During Wednesday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly pointed to fresh polling analysis from CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten, who said Trump’s approval among men has swung sharply negative since November, with the steepest declines among men under 45 and men under 25. Kelly argued the numbers pose a serious political risk for Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterms.

“Trump won in 2024 because of men. They are abandoning him right now,” Enten said on Tuesday.

According to CNN’s analysis of multiple national polls, Trump won male voters by 13 points in the 2024 presidential election. That advantage has since flipped. Enten said Trump is now seven points underwater in net approval among men overall—a roughly 20‑point swing in just over a year.

The movement is even more pronounced among younger men. Enten reported that Trump carried men under the age of 45 by five points in 2024 but now holds a net approval rating of -9 with that group. Men under 25 show a similar collapse, shifting from backing Trump in the election to registering a net approval of minus 19 in recent polling.

Reacting to the data, Kelly said the figures suggest “the coalition Trump relied on is no longer as solid as it looked on Election Day,” warning sustained losses among young men could reverberate across battleground districts in the midterms.
