Iran War Updates [1]

The 3 stooges – Vance, Witkoff and Kushner – are headed to Pakistan for a fresh round of talks with Iran on Monday.

Live updates: President Trump says US negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran. — The Associated Press (@apnews.com) 2026-04-19T12:40:29Z

Wut? Iran has not agreed to sending a delegation yet.

Iran currently has no decision to send a negotiating delegation to Pakistan, Tasnim reports reut.rs/4cu0ZnP — Reuters (@reuters.com) 2026-04-19T14:15:09Z

It’s all very confusing –

BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance will not lead the US delegation for new talks with Iran in Pakistan because of “security” concerns, says President Trump.🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/69wxfd — Al Jazeera English (@aljazeera.com) 2026-04-19T13:53:49.556Z

Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, with trump bragging that he closed it, not Iran.

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history. The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply. — MeidasTouch (@meidastouch.com) 2026-04-19T18:56:36.300Z

No surprise that military advisers try to keep trump out of the loop.

Americans disapproval of trump keeps tanking …

Trump's job rating hits a second-term low as two-thirds of Americans disapprove of his handling of inflation and the Iran war, according to a new NBC News Decision Desk Poll. — NBC News (@nbcnews.com) 2026-04-19T13:07:05.947Z

67% disapprove of his handling of the Iran war.

Meanwhile, trump wrote a flurry of posts on his social media account – threatening Iran with oblivion, etc and one with Frank Sinatra singing “I did it my way” which ends with –

“And now, the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

Regrets, I’ve had a few

But then again, too few to mention…

I did it my way.”

🤔

The Iranians keep posting clever videos like these, which must be driving trump nuts.

We live in perilous times where the president of the United States posts state policy in juvenile, unhinged, sociopathic social media posts, destroying modern civilization here and abroad, while 33% of the country simply laps it all up and bows to him.

Let’s keep working to bring sanity back to our country.
