General News of Tuesday, 7 April 2026Source: edition.cnn.comPresident Donald Trump said he’d agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his 8 p.m. deadline to destroy a “whole civilisation.”Trump said the ceasefire agreement was made on the condition that Iran agree to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz. This will be a double-sided CEASEFIRE!,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. The White House called a lid at 6:44 p.m., meaning officials don’t anticipate that the press will see Trump for the remainder of the evening.

Majid Saeedi/Getty ImagesWhen is it OK to target power plants and bridges? For Americans who heretofore viewed the US as the country that upheld international law, their conception of American civilization is also up for review.

It is lie upon lie upon lie upon lie.”Advertisement AdvertisementAs Athena’s stepmother testified, the jury was shown an image of Athena taken from a video inside the delivery truck.

Missouri governor signs bill banning judges from delaying divorces when a spouse is pregnant
Mike Kehoe on Tuesday signed into law a bill banning state judges from delaying divorce proceedings because a spouse is pregnant. The Republican governor first learned about how the original measure had impacted Williams’ life when they met last year and said he almost started crying at the time. Abuse – both verbal and physical – often worsens in pregnancy, according to infant and maternal health nonprofit March of Dimes. Before HB 1908 was signed into law, Missouri was among a handful of states, including Texas, where divorce proceedings are frequently paused by judges during a spouse’s pregnancy. Kehoe signed two other bills Tuesday concerning the state’s juvenile criminal system and criminal penalties for child sex trafficking.
