U.S. President Donald Trump said he believes the Iranian regime is effectively without a leader and is experiencing infighting between two factions because the U.S. military has “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz.
“Iran is having a very hard time figuring out who their leader is! They just don’t know! The infighting is between the ‘Hardliners,’ who have been losing BADLY on the battlefield, and the ‘Moderates,’ who are not very moderate at all (but gaining respect!), is CRAZY!” Trump wrote in an April 23 post on Truth Social.
“We have total control over the Strait of Hormuz. No ship can enter or leave without the approval of the United States Navy. It is ‘Sealed up Tight,’ until such time as Iran is able to make a DEAL.”

The CCP’s Deadly Response to a Peaceful Appeal Still Echoes Today
The Chinese Communist Party’s treatment of its own people exposes the illusion of trusting Beijing.

Commentary
Imagine you’re choosing a long-term business partner. The smartest question you can ask isn’t about their balance sheet or their promises. It’s simpler: How do they treat their own employees? Because sooner or later, you will also be at their mercy.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has given us the clearest possible answer to that question.
Since its founding in 1921 as a Soviet-backed revolutionary party, the CCP has been defined by violence, deception, and the ruthless pursuit of absolute power. It infiltrated the Kuomintang, sabotaged the Northern Expedition, incited peasant revolts by unleashing the scum of society, and turned the “Long March” into a strategic flight after military defeat.

Report: Iran Lays More Mines in Strait of Hormuz
VIDEO
By Solange Reyner | Thursday, 23 April 2026 07:34 PM EDT
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy has laid additional naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz this week, according to U.S. and regional sources, escalating tensions in a critical global shipping corridor and raising fresh concerns about energy supplies and maritime security.
The development, first reported by Axios, was confirmed by a U.S. official and another source with knowledge of the situation, who said American authorities are closely tracking the mine-laying activity.
The number of mines deployed was not disclosed.
The move marks a further intensification of the standoff between Iran and the United States in the strategically vital waterway, which serves as a chokepoint for a significant share of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.

Economic intelligence on Iran and China is shaping Trump’s strategy
By Tom Rogan

In Focus delivers deeper coverage of the political, cultural, and ideological issues shaping America. Published daily by senior writers and experts, these in-depth pieces go beyond the headlines to give readers the full picture. You can find our full list of In Focus pieces here.
U.S. intelligence community products are clearly driving President Donald Trump’s evolving strategy on how to end the war in Iran.
Trump wants the war to end in a manner that puts a durable lid on Iran’s nuclear program and sees Iran open the Strait of Hormuz, the Middle East’s key energy chokepoint. To get there, Trump appears to be heavily relying on intelligence products generated by the CIA, the National Security Agency, and the State Department’s economic analysts.

The signaling is clear. China is telling Iran to cut a deal and open the strait. And that if it fails to do so, Tehran risks its isolation from China in favor of its Islamic nemesis, Saudi Arabia. China knows what Iran also knows: If Iran loses China as its economic link to Saudi Arabia, it has a huge problem. Russia’s depletion in the war in Ukraine makes it a far weaker Iranian partner than it was five years ago. And again, American global espionage means that Trump will be aware of any Chinese pressure on Iran that has not been made public. It is virtually certain that the Xi-bin Salman and Wang-Araghchi phone calls were intercepted, analyzed, and transcribed by the NSA, for example.
Trump will ultimately decide how and when this conflict ends. But when it comes to the intelligence reporting most relevant to the president’s decision-making, it’s no longer military intelligence. It’s the economy, stupid.

A Virginia judge ruled on April 22 that the state’s redistricting referendum approved by voters a day earlier was invalid, nullifying the election results.
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones said he would immediately file an appeal.
“Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote,” Jones said in an X post.
Tazewell Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley entered an injunction blocking certification of the election.
Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said the legal fight was just beginning after language used in the ballot question raised a lot of interest among the opposition.

President Donald Trump on April 23 said he authorized the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” Iranian boats placing mines in the Strait of Hormuz in a bid to ease trafficking through the strategic waterway.
The U.S. Navy was directed “to shoot and kill any boat,” including Iran’s fleet of “small boats,” that are laying mines in the strait, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“There is to be no hesitation,” he added.

Iran Faces Imminent Oil Shut-Ins as Storage Nears Capacity
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Iran’s ‘fragile’ oil wells could shut within days as sanctions and a naval blockade squeeze storage and exports.

Iran is nearing forced oil production stoppages as storage tanks fill rapidly, with capacity set to be exhausted within 20 to 24 days, according to an April 22 update from Kpler, a commodities data firm that tracks global oil, gas, and shipping flows.
The firm said that Iran’s output has already fallen by around 750,000 barrels per day from pre-war levels, primarily due to lower domestic demand during the Iran war.
It said that Iran’s oil supply is being forced to adjust to “two simultaneous shocks”: damage to key infrastructure and an almost complete halt in exports.
Homayoun Falakshahi, who leads Kpler’s crude oil analysis team, said that strikes on key phases of the South Pars gas field have cut condensate production by roughly 100,000 to 120,000 barrels per day for at least six months.

Trump is right. The Virginia redistricting referendum was rigged
By Peter Cordi
Published April 22, 2026 3:33pm ET | Updated April 22, 2026 7:56pm ET
Can a ballot referendum implicitly tell you the “correct” way to vote? That’s precisely what happened this week when Virginians voted to strip congressional representation from nearly half the state in the name of “restoring fairness.”
President Donald Trump reacted to the April 21 Virginia redistricting referendum on Wednesday, calling it “rigged.” He claimed there was a “massive ‘mail-in ballot drop’” and that the language on the ballot was “purposefully unintelligible and deceptive.” I don’t know about any ballot drop, but he’s absolutely correct about the ballot language.
