Trump Pauses Strikes, Seeks Peace with Iran

0:00Texas Democrats are pushing hard for Vice President JD Vance in the Cabinet to use the 25th Amendment and remove President Trump from office. This ramps up after Trump's social media post warning that a whole civilization could die Tuesday night, right on the deadline for Iran to reopen the, straight of Hormuz. That straight handles most of the world's oil and gas trade, and the U.S. gave Iran an ultimatum by 7 p.m. central time. Tuesday, strikes hit Iran's Carg Island overnight, and Iran threatened to cut off oil to the U.S. and allies if attacks continued. Reps like Jasmine Crockett from Dallas called Trump deranged and unfit, urging action to avoid catastrophe. Others, including Julie Johnson, Joaquin Castro from San Antonio, Sylvia Garcia, and Christian Menophe near Houston, echoed that, labeling his words, reckless threats of genocide and war crimes, demanding steady leadership instead. But before 6 p.m. that evening, Trump flipped the script on social media.

1:02He announced a two-week pause on U.S. strikes after talks with Pakistan, calling it a mutual ceasefire if Iran reopens the straight right away. He says U.S. goals are met and they're nearing a long-term peace deal based on Iran's 10-point plan, with big issues resolved. This pause aims to seal broader Middle East ability, shifting from brinkmanship to talks. Global news, powered by AI, this is Dallas News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
