Washington’s most closely watched annual media event — often described as the capital’s answer to the Met Gala, drawing together journalists, celebrities, Cabinet officials, and the president himself in a night of formal wear and uneasy familiarity — turned into a crime scene on April 25, 2026. A man armed with multiple weapons charged a…

The annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner — one of Washington’s most high-profile gatherings of journalists, politicians, and celebrities — was thrown into chaos on the night of April 25, 2026, when gunshots rang out near the entrance of the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump, attending the event for the first time as…

When U.S. Vice President JD Vance landed in Pakistan last month to lead a second round of peace talks, he walked into a vacuum. Iran’s negotiating team never showed up. They had been blocked — not by Washington’s demands, not by Islamabad’s mediation, but by generals inside Tehran who refused to let their own diplomats…

A landmark deal, a unilateral withdrawal, years of broken trust — and a world now paying the price. It is one of the most urgent questions of 2026: if Iran and the world’s major powers signed a historic agreement in 2015 to stop Iran’s nuclear program, why are U.S. and Israeli missiles now striking Iranian…

Trump has announced he will extend the iran ceasefire past its April 21 expiry. But the state of the Islamabad peace talks is, by every independent assessment, deeply unclear. Iran hasn’t confirmed the extension’s terms. Israel isn’t bound by them. Ships are still being targeted. And “extension” is doing a lot of diplomatic work for…

BREAKING: Iran has withdrawn its delegation from the Islamabad ceasefire talks following the US Navy’s seizure of an Iranian-linked oil tanker in the Persian Gulf. Tehran is calling it a “hostile act.” Washington calls it “lawful sanctions enforcement.” The ceasefire expires in 48 hours. LIVE FEED — APRIL 20, 2026 11:47 a.m. EDT — OIL…

The USS Spruance fired. The Marines boarded. The Touska went quiet in the Gulf of Oman. And now, a nearly 900-foot Iranian cargo ship sits in U.S. military custody — raising a legal question that American courts have not been asked to answer since the Civil War: can the United States keep it? The answer,…

The six-hour standoff ended the same way Trump had promised it would. The USS Spruance fired several rounds from its 5-inch MK 45 naval gun directly into the engine room of the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska in the Gulf of Oman on Sunday — disabling the vessel, stranding its crew, and triggering the most volatile…

The adviser did not mince words. “We need a message,” he told colleagues inside the West Wing. “Right now, everything’s on hold until the war’s over.” It was a rare moment of candor from an administration that has spent seven weeks trying — and repeatedly failing — to get ahead of the most consequential economic…

Two countries blocking each other’s exports, oil near $105 a barrel, Iran’s inflation at 44% and climbing — and a ceasefire that expires in six days. The economic stakes have never been higher. When Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf taunted Donald Trump on social media Sunday — “Enjoy the current pump figures. With the…
