ALERT: Trump Threats To Attack Iran After Negotiations Fail
In a Nutshell
US-Iran negotiations in Pakistan failed despite a fragile two-week ceasefire, prompting President Trump to announce a US Navy blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and threats to destroy any Iranian ships firing on peaceful vessels, while calling for 50% tariffs on nations arming Iran like China. Markets reacted negatively with Bitcoin dropping from $74,000 highs, oil prices poised to skyrocket (already up 100% in four months for 2026 contracts), fueling inflation and reducing Federal Reserve rate cut odds. The breakdown threatens escalation, with JD Vance noting the US final offer was rejected, advising caution on markets and highlighting Trump's absence at a UFC event.

Today is April 12th, 8:22 AM in Arizona. Markets reacted from BTC highs of nearly 74,000 as talks in Pakistan between US and Iran were expected to negotiate an extension or finale to the war. A two-week ceasefire was announced last week by Trump, supposed to be the nail in the coffin.
Last night's meeting did not go well. President Trump states the US Navy will begin blockading any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz near Iran. > Any Iranian who fires at us or at peaceful vessels will be blown to hell.
This follows the failure of negotiations between Iran and the US.
Iranian side: > Despite various initiatives from Iranian delegation, the unreasonable demands of the American side prevented the progress of negotiation. Thus, the negotiations ended.
Islamic Republic has no plans for further nuclear talks with the US after negotiations brokered by Pakistan failed. No program has been announced for the time and place of the next round by Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
JD Vance, part of the negotiations: > We leave here with a very simple proposal and a method of understanding that it is our final and best offer. We'll see if Iran accepts it.
Collapse of talks places the current fragile two-week ceasefire under immediate threat.
