Tensions surrounding Iran and US involvement took a sharper turn as US President Donald Trump used a public appearance during the White House Easter event to call out what he described as the “misuse” of American support. Speaking during the annual Easter Egg Roll, Trump raised serious concerns over reports that weapons allegedly sent to support Iranian protesters never reached their intended recipients. Instead, he suggested that certain groups may have diverted or withheld the aid, triggering strong warnings from the president. Trump went a step further, issuing a 48-hour ultimatum directed at the Iranian regime, linking the situation to broader instability in the Strait of Hormuz. The remarks have added a new layer of controversy, especially around US involvement in the region, the role of proxy groups, and the risks tied to arms distribution in conflict zones. Trump’s warning that those responsible would “pay a big price” underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the potential for escalation. WATCH

US-Iran backchannel talks are moving toward a two-stage peace framework, with a ceasefire first, followed by a final agreement within 15 to 20 days.

The proposal is reportedly backed by Pakistan, China and the United States, with final in-person talks expected in Islamabad.
