President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran informed his administration that it is in a “state of collapse” and wants the Strait of Hormuz to be opened amid what he said are leadership problems.

In a post issued on Truth Social on the morning of April 28, the president wrote, “Iran has just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse.’”

“They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation,” he added.

The president did not provide further details about what the Iranian side had communicated to the United States. This past week, Trump said that he would extend a ceasefire to allow a proposal to be made to the regime’s “seriously fractured” leadership.

WORLD_ Iran Fumes as Gulf States Reject Hormuz Toll Plan (NEWSMAX)

Iran Fumes as Gulf States Reject Hormuz Toll Plan

VIDEO

By Newsmax Wires | Tuesday, 28 April 2026 05:39 PM EDT


Negotiations over Iran’s proposal to impose shipping tolls in the Strait of Hormuz have stalled, with Gulf states and Western powers firmly rejecting the idea, according to a New York Post report.

Iran has been seeking to formalize a system of transit fees on vessels passing through the strategic waterway as part of a broader effort to assert greater control over one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, the New York Post reported.

The plan has run into coordinated resistance from Gulf Cooperation Council members, who have aligned with the United States in opposing any Iranian authority to tax international shipping through the strait, according to the same reporting.

The Strait of Hormuz, which links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, carries roughly a fifth of global oil trade, making it one of the most strategically sensitive maritime corridors in the world.

Iran has periodically threatened to restrict or regulate passage through the strait in past confrontations with the West, but the current toll proposal marks a more formal attempt to monetize transit amid ongoing regional tensions.

According to reporting, Tehran has tied broader maritime de-escalation discussions to recognition of its role in managing or regulating traffic through the waterway, a position that Gulf states and the U.S. have rejected.

The United States objected strongly after Iran was selected as one of the 34 vice presidents of the United Nations Nonproliferation Treaty conference on April 27. 

Iran was a candidate proposed by the Non-Aligned Movement, made up of 121 developing countries, most of which are in Africa and Asia.

The conference, held every five years since 1970, involves all 191 parties to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) reviewing its implementation.

Under the terms of the NPT, Iran is obliged to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a U.N. agency, but it has not given IAEA inspectors access to nuclear sites since they were bombed by the United States in June 2025.

The Philippines says it is not concerned that the war in the Middle East will reduce U.S. military focus in the Indo-Pacific region.

The country’s defense secretary, Gilberto Teodoro, said April 28 he has full confidence in the country’s long-standing security pact with the United States.

“I’m not concerned at all about reduced deterrence,” Teodoro said, pointing to the ongoing Balikatan military exercises as proof of Washington’s commitment.

Balikatan, which means “shoulder-to-shoulder” in Filipino, is an annual exercise that has grown in size as regional security concerns have increased.

Teodoro warned, however, that China could try to take advantage of any perceived weakness or distraction elsewhere.

The Department of Justice on April 28 announced that former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on charges relating to threatening to kill or harm President Donald Trump.

“Today, a grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of North Carolina returned an indictment against James Comey on two counts,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at an April 28 news conference.

Blanche announced that Comey had been charged with one count of making threats against the president for a social media post he made in 2025 that was interpreted as a call for violence against Trump. The charge is a criminal offense under 18 U.S. Code Section 871 that carries penalties ranging from a fine to five years in federal prison.

Dan Bongino Slams Left-Wing Political Violence: 'There Is No Both Sides'

Dmitri Bolt | April 27, 2026 12:00 PM

AP Photo/Alex Brandon


Dan Bongino, the former deputy director of the FBI, slammed claims that there is a culture of both left- and right-wing political violence. His comments came in the aftermath of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where a Democrat from California allegedly traveled to Washington, D.C., in an attempt to assassinate Trump administration officials.

Bongino argued that the broader culture of political violence is primarily an issue on the left, contending that figures who use extreme, violent rhetoric, like Hasan Piker, have been normalized, and that years of blatantly false portrayals of the president have contributed to an environment in which some individuals are driven to violence. He argued that there is no comparable example on the right.

An injured U.S. Secret Service officer fired five shots at a gunman who was allegedly attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump during an attack on the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Saturday evening. 

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the officer was struck by a firearm in the chest but was protected by a ballistic vest and returned fire five times, before the 31-year-old suspect Cole Tomas Allen fell to the ground.

“One Secret Service officer was shot in the chest, but was wearing a ballistic vest that worked,” Blanche said during a press conference Monday afternoon. “This heroic officer who was hit fired five times at Allen, who was not shot, but fell to the ground and was promptly arrested.”
