Trump Says Deal Reached With Iran, Authorizes End of Naval Blockade in Hormuz



Sunday, 14 June 2026 05:52 PM EDT


Pakistan says the United States and Iran have reached an agreement to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, offering relief to the global economy more than three months since the war began.

Full details of the deal were not immediately available. The signing will be Friday in Switzerland. It is not clear how quickly the strait might reopen to all traffic.

The U.S. previously said it would ease its blockade of Iranian ports as the strait reopens, and would agree to relax sanctions to allow Iran to sell more of its oil and strengthen its battered economy.

President Donald Trump confirmed a deal had been reached with Iran and said he had authorized an end to the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Congratulations to all!” he
wrote on social media, without providing details. He added, “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”

The most self-destructive pillars of lefty lunacy finally begin to fall

The grotesque sexual misconduct involving Democratic politicians — from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to California Rep. Eric Swalwell — has finally put #MeToo to rest.

We were reminded of its demise when it was revealed that
Maine senatorial candidate and socialist heartthrob Graham Platner had been discovered to possess a long social media history of crude and pornographic put-downs of women.

The demise of Black Lives Matter offers another example of a recurring left-wing phenomenon: movements that begin as moral crusades and end as self-parodies.

Promises kept: Howard Lutnick on the anniversary of the deal that saved U.S. Steel

By Salena Zito
Published June 14, 2026 5:15am ET


BRADDOCK, Pa. — In American politics, when negotiating hard deals that involve high risk and the livelihoods of all involved while requiring great compromise, pain is usually shared unequally. The rarest outcome is for all involved to be grateful.

Yet that was the overwhelming sentiment expressed by the local union leaders, steel workers, plant managers, and U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt when Commerce Secretary
Howard Lutnick visited the iconic U.S. Steel Edgar Thomson Works, one year after the hard-fought Nippon deal that included a heavy lift from President Donald Trump.

After being greeted with a traditional Pittsburgh cookie table, Lutnick donned orange protective gear, steel-toed boots, heavy gloves (those railings get really hot on a 100-plus degree shop floor), protective glasses, and earplugs. He joined Burritt, plant leadership, and steelworkers to see firsthand what makes Edgar Thomson so important not just to the workers, but also to the entire country.

Hegseth: US Acting Now to Secure Hormuz

VIDEO

By Newsmax Wires | Sunday, 14 June 2026 02:43 PM EDT

War Department Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that the United States is already taking undisclosed actions to help ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz as the Trump administration moves toward a potential agreement with Iran.

"We are already doing things I can't talk about on this program," Hegseth said during an appearance on
CBS' "Face the Nation," when asked how quickly the U.S. and its partners could clear threats to commercial shipping in the strategic waterway.

Hegseth's comments came as the Trump administration anticipated the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Iran that would begin a new round of negotiations aimed at permanently dismantling Tehran's nuclear program.

The secretary said the administration remains on track for an agreement despite fresh Israeli strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon over the weekend.

"From all I know, we are on track," Hegseth said. "It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when."

He said Iran must rein in Hezbollah rocket attacks against Israel if it wants the broader agreement to succeed.

Hegseth repeatedly emphasized that any agreement would be "performance-based" and said Iran would not receive sanctions relief or other benefits until it fulfills its commitments.

"The president's been most clear about is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, never. Full stop," he said.

Chinese Ships Enter Restricted Waters Around Disputed Island in South China Sea

Chinese vessels for the first time entered restricted waters around Taiwan-controlled Taiping Island, Taiwan said.

TAIPEI, Taiwan—Two Chinese ships intruded into the restricted waters of a Taiwan-controlled island in the South China Sea on June 11, Taiwan said.

Taiwan’s coast guard called the incursions into waters near Taiping Island another example of China’s gray-zone harassment, emphasizing that it was the first such incident in the area, according to a press release issued on Thursday. It criticized Beijing for a “malicious escalation” against the island.

Taiping Island, also known as Itu Aba, is the largest naturally occurring island in the Spratly Islands of the disputed South China Sea. It is located about 1,000 miles southwest of Taiwan. It is controlled by Taiwan, and also claimed by China, the Philippines and Vietnam.

COLUMNISTS_ Election Security Is Nonnegotiable (Congressman Abe Hamadeh - TOWNHALL)

OPINION

Election Security Is Nonnegotiable

Congressman Abe Hamadeh | Jun 13, 2026

In one of America's most technologically advanced states, California voters have grown accustomed to waiting days, and sometimes weeks, for election results. The state’s elections are a national disgrace.

Peru successfully conducted a national election involving more than 20 million voters and produced results within a single day. A single day. Yet in California, voters must wait days or weeks to learn the outcome of elections. In the world's most powerful democracy, that should be unacceptable.

These delays matter because election security is a matter of national security.

The foundation of every strong nation is trust in its institutions and its laws. Trust that the government derives its authority from the consent of the governed. Once that trust begins to erode, everything else eventually follows.

Every American, regardless of political affiliation, should be able to cast a legal ballot and know it will be counted accurately. Likewise, every American should know safeguards exist to prevent fraud, abuse, and foreign interference. Secure elections protect every voter, every elected official, and ultimately our constitutional republic. 

That is why I have consistently supported legislation designed to strengthen confidence in our elections and ensure that only eligible citizens determine the future of our country.

I proudly supported the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The idea that non-citizens should be prevented from voting in American elections should be one of the least controversial positions in public life. Voting is among the most sacred rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Protecting that principle is not voter suppression. It is common sense.

Dick Morris: Trump Wins Big Majorities on All Key Issues



President Donald Trump (Getty Images)

By Dick Morris Saturday, 13 June 2026 01:05 PM EDT
Current | Bio | Archive


President Donald Trump's political strength is often attributed to his larger-than-life personality.

But the real foundation of his appeal may be something far more durable: on issue after issue, the American public agrees with him. And strongly.

This finding is confirmed by the
most recent Harvard-Harris poll of 1,725 registered voters between May 29 and 31.

The Harvard survey found that on almost all major issues surveyed relating to his job performance, Trump commands large majorities.

As I recently said on Newsmax, I have been polling U.S. residents for almost five decades and, frankly, I have not witnessed this type of across-the-board support for a president's main policy list.

You can take this as a good omen for both Trump and the GOP as we head into the midterm races this November.

Here are some of the key findings on public support for Trump's key issues:

* 80% support deporting illegal aliens who commit crimes after entering the United States.
* 56% support deporting all aliens who are here illegally.
* 61% back Trump's plan to place reciprocal tariffs on countries.
* 72% support a 10% cap on credit card interest rates.
* 71% favor preventing large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes.
* 68% support Trump's proposal to create a website that lets you purchase prescription drugs at significant discounts.
* 85% want the government to lower prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients and low-income patients.
* 59% want tightening of voter ID requirements for the 2026 Congressional midterm elections.
* 65% oppose racial preferences in government hiring and contracting.
* 65% support prohibiting biological males who have transitioned to females from women's sports.
* 63% agree only two genders, male and female, should be listed on government forms and programs.


These issues run the gamut of Trump's major domestic policy issues.

Some argue, however, that Trump's support for the Iran conflict has hurt him politically.

I disagree, and the polling supports my view with 75% of voters agreeing that Iran must be prevented from obtaining nuclear weapons. That's Trump policy in a nutshell.

While day-to-day headlines focus on economic indicators, negotiations with Iran, or Washington's political battles, the underlying polling tells the real story.

For the moment, Trump and the Congressional Republicans are running against Democratic utopia: the left can solve the price increases they created; they can bring peace to the wars they helped cause; and they can heal America after being solely responsible for the polarization we face.

As Election Day gets closer, voters will see through the media spin.

Expect to see a big rise for Trump and Republican candidates. I do.

Japanese Space Agency's H3 Rocket Launches Successfully in Major Comeback

As Elon Musk has pointed out, rockets are hard. He's in a position to know, being the head of the most successful private-sector spacefaring venture to date. But several nations are also reaching into space, including Japan. Last December, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) had a nasty failure of their H3 rocket when the second stage of that bird didn't go off as intended. They're back at it now, though, with a successful launch of the H3 on Friday.


Japan successfully launched its flagship H3 rocket Friday morning, marking the resumption of the rocket’s flights roughly six months after a failed mission in December and the first flight of a new low-cost configuration intended to strengthen the country’s competitiveness in the global launch market.

H3 Launch Vehicle No. 6 lifted off from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture at 9:53 a.m., according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). It reached its target orbit approximately 16 minutes later.


That's a good launch, one that ought to please even Elon Musk. Being that this was a test flight, the H3 put up on Friday didn't carry a satellite payload, but rather a dummy payload intended to gather launch data:

Freddy and his crew, the World Cup tourists from Germany, are certainly having a road trip for the ages. Their journey has been embraced by Americans, giving us fresh eyes to see the wonderful things about our own country that they and other Europeans in the country for the games are discovering for the first time.

As we reported, they saw beautiful areas from Georgia to Alabama, visited some local history sites, went tubing on the Chattahoochee River, and even posed with the Buc-ee's beaver.

They finally made it to Louisiana and then had a jam-packed day on Friday. They didn't make the airboat ride, but they did get to see an alligator. I don't think there are a lot of alligators in Germany.

Trump Says Iran Conflict Nears End As Deal Set for Sunday Signing

Scott McClallen | June 13, 2026 1:43 PM

The U.S. and Iran will sign a deal to end the Iran conflict on Sunday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday.

Trump said that after the deal is signed, the
Strait of Hormuz will open “immediately” and no money will change hands.

"In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement," Trump posted on social media. "The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands."
