Trump to deliver a primetime speech about U.S.-Israel war on Iran at 9 p.m. ET
Trump claims Iran wants a ceasefire as he threatens to withdraw the U.S. from NATO
The National | LIVE Trump Iran war updateU.S. President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that Iran is seeking a ceasefire, hours ahead of his primetime speech to the nation to provide an update about the ongoing war.
Trump is scheduled to speak at 9 p.m. ET, and hinted that he would also use the occasion to say he is considering withdrawing the U.S. from NATO.
He made the claim about the ceasefire on his social media account, saying that in response, "We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!"
Iran denied making such a request.

A White House official later said Trump is expected to reiterate in his speech that he believes the war in Iran will end in the next two to three weeks, and to provide an update on U.S. progress toward achieving his goals in Iran.
The official said those goals are to destroy Iran's missile production, destroy its navy, ensure its proxies can no longer destabilize the region and guarantee that it does not obtain a nuclear weapon.
Thousands of people have been killed across the Middle East since Feb. 28, when the U.S. and Israel struck Iran, triggering Iranian attacks on Israel, U.S. bases and the Gulf states, while opening a new front in Lebanon.
The conflict has unleashed one of the largest supply shortages in global energy market history, heaping political pressure on Trump to end the conflict quickly, even as analysts said his objectives had not been met.
Trump calling NATO cowards is ‘insulting’: says former NATO officialTrump had suggested on Tuesday he could wind down the war in two to three weeks even without a deal, while scaling up threats to pull the U.S. out of the NATO defence alliance if European states did not help stop Iran from blocking the waterway.
In remarks to Reuters on Wednesday, Trump said he would express his disgust with NATO for what he considers the alliance's lack of support for U.S. objectives in Iran.
U.S. Senate reacts to NATO attacks
Trump's attack on NATO elicited a bipartisan defence of the alliance from the U.S. Senate. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic Sen. Chris Coons said in a joint statement that "NATO is the most successful military alliance in history" and stressed how its members "fought and died" alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Americans are safer when NATO is strong and united," the statement said. "The Senate will continue to support the alliance for the peace and protection it provides America, Europe, and the World."
France was among the first European NATO members to react to Trump's threats.
"Let me recall what NATO is," French junior army minister Alice Rufo said. "It is a military alliance concerned with the security of territories in the Euro-Atlantic area. It is not intended to carry out an operation in the Strait of Hormuz, which is not in accordance with international law."
A German government spokesperson, asked about Trump's comment during a government press conference, said Germany remains committed to NATO: "This isn't the first time he's done this, and since it's a recurring phenomenon, you can probably judge the consequences for yourself," they said.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would act in his country's interest, regardless of the "noise." The instability caused by the war meant Britain should pivot to focus on closer economic and defence ties with Europe, he said.
Experts say it is not clear whether Trump could act unilaterally to leave the 77-year-old coalition, even though he frequently makes major decisions without congressional approval, some of which are held up by U.S. courts.

In a Truth Social post earlier today, Trump claimed that Iran had asked for a ceasefire, but ruled out any truce until the vital Strait of Hormuz was reopened for crucial energy shipments.

Iran’s Consulate General in Mumbai has mocked US President Donald Trump over his recent remarks on Iran’s leadership, using April Fools’ Day to take a swipe at what it called misinformation.
In a post on X, the consulate said, “On April Fools’ Day, it’s almost poetic that Donald #Trump still manages to outdo the jokes; talking about a ‘new’ #Iran president when Dr. #Pezeshkian has been in office all along.” It added, “Reality check: presidents aren’t replaced by tweets… that’s what elections are for.”

The third reported salvo came shortly after US President Donald Trump delivered an address to the American public about the Middle East war.Israel's military said air defences responded to three waves of Iranian missile fire early Thursday, with media reporting several light injuries in the Tel Aviv area.
The third reported salvo came shortly after US President Donald Trump delivered an address to the American public about the Middle East war.
After the first attack, police said officers were called to "several" impact sites in central Israel, with media reports putting the number at nine.
Four people were lightly wounded, the reports said, citing medics.
Israeli media attributed the damage across a relatively wide area to the use of cluster munitions, which explode mid-air and scatter bomblets.
Iran and Israel have previously accused each other of using cluster bombs.
Within just over three hours of the first attack, the military announced it had again "identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel", triggering air raid sirens across much of northern and central Israel.
The military's Home Front Command later said residents were "permitted to leave protected spaces in all areas of the country".
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage as a result of the second and third reported attacks.
On Wednesday, as Jewish Israelis were preparing to celebrate the Passover holiday, emergency services said Iranian missile fire wounded 14 people, including an 11-year-old girl.

Carney says he's 'absolutely not' considering proroguing Parliament after byelections
Liberals' agenda could face hurdles even with a majority — but proroguing likely wouldn't help
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's "absolutely not" considering proroguing Parliament should he win a majority in the House following three upcoming byelections.
"It has never even entered my thinking, the possibility of [proroguing]," the prime minister said Tuesday during an unrelated news conference.
Carney was asked about the possibility of prorogation — which would end the current parliamentary session and reset the House agenda — after the Globe and Mail reported, citing government sources, that it was on the table.
"I couldn't have been more surprised to see a suggestion that that was under consideration at all," Carney said.
The Liberals would be able to form a thin majority government if they win two out of the three upcoming byelections — but the government's agenda would still face some hurdles in the House of Commons if it can't get opposition parties on board.
'Absolutely not': Carney clear proroguing Parliament 'never even entered my thinking'If the Liberals gain two seats, their votes in the House would technically be equal to the opposition parties' combined votes — and any vote that ends in a tie is broken by the Speaker.
Although Speaker Francis Scarpaleggia was elected a Liberal, that doesn't mean he would automatically vote with the government.
The Speaker is an impartial role by convention and doesn't sit with a party caucus once chosen by their peers.
According to the House's official guide to practice and procedure, the Speaker "normally votes to maintain the status quo," including "preserving the possibility that the matter might somehow be brought back in the future and be decided by a majority of the House."
The Liberals would be in a slightly better position if they swept all three byelections by having one more vote than the opposition parties combined.
Prorogation won't reset committee standings
But should the Liberals get to a majority plus one position, they would still need some opposition support to push legislation through committees.
As it stands, House committees have a roughly even split of Liberals and Conservatives. Each committee also has one Bloc Québécois member.
Typically, committee standings — with the exception of the procedure and House affairs committee — could be reset if Parliament was prorogued.
But Carney doesn't have that option thanks to a motion that passed the House in June which locked in committee standings for the duration of this Parliament.
It's possible for that motion to be overruled by a subsequent motion — but would likely face stiff opposition from the other parties.
If the Liberals only win two of the coming byelections, they likely wouldn't be able to pass such a motion. The Speaker would vote against it as it's a change to the status quo.
The three byelections are taking place in the Toronto ridings of University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest — and the Quebec riding of Terrebonne.
All three are being held on April 13, with advance polls open April 3 to 6.

The premier made the comments a day after federal Defence Minister David McGuinty said Canada is considering sending vessels and cyber expertise to help secure the Strait of Hormuz if a ceasefire is reached.
Kinew said Canada has prided itself in promoting human rights across the world and that taking steps to end the war would be acting according to those values.
"Not a single Canadian should ever be put in harm's way to defend Donald Trump's foolish Iranian war," he said at the conference Friday.
"I'll go a step further, and I'll say no American either," Kinew said. "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war."
Methinks Trump and his bankster buddy Carney must admit that even a busted clock is correct twice a day so can the dumb NDP be twice a month N'esy Pas?He added: "The NDP deplores the Carney government's decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump's administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."
