Last night Pakistan recommended a 2 wk cease fire deal to negotiate peace

from The Charlie James Show Podcast

In a major diplomatic breakthrough on April 7, 2026, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif successfully mediated a two-week ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran. The proposal was introduced just hours before a critical U.S. deadline and prompted President Donald Trump to suspend planned military strikes against Iranian infrastructure. As part of the deal, Iran has agreed to reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz for the duration of the truce. Formal peace negotiations are scheduled to begin this Friday, April 10, in Islamabad, where delegations will work toward a long-term settlement based on a 10-point proposal from Tehran.

Hope you guys have had a great Wednesday and I hope that will continue. So 24 hours ago, I mean, the world was literally, what? We were five hours away, a little less than five hours away of the United States raining down holy hell on Iran. oh 00:28 Well, last minute reprieve, last night, the uh folks over there in Pakistan, they recommended that we and Iran come up with some two week ceasefire deal to negotiate. So where are we today? Well, right now we are seeing a slight uptick in the movement of oil. 00:57 in the Strait of Hormuz, oil dropped about 20 % overnight. Now, I told you this before and you need to kind of keep it in your head. Whenever something happens, the market reacts first. That's number one. They're the first ones to react and that's how the market reacted with like between 15 and 20 % drop last night. it'll be a while before you see anything at the pump. All right. Now know when it goes up, 01:26 it's immediate but when it goes down to take a little bit couple of weeks in anything in the public if peace deal this ceasefire holds is apparently what we're hearing right now is the straight of hormones is not fully open bombing has beloved in lebanon and as you mentioned a moment ago breaking right now iranian state media says iran is closing the straight of hormones again 01:52 in response so long john robertson washington center i take it that threat is not going to go over well with president trump yeah uh... we've got the latest on the market movement is the markets are tracking all of this i'm sandra smith in new york said on this is america reports and president trump is telling the new york post top officials including vice president jd vance could be heading to pakistan for talks very soon bombing has brought up from what we're hearing they're actually going to be heading to uh... pakistan this weekend 02:21 to continue these negotiations. President Trump, now did he have to do this? No, he didn't have to. And there's a lot of moving parts here. This is like a Swiss watch. There's a lot of moving parts. Number one, what the president was really trying to do was show all of these people who just what? 36 hours ago started calling him a war criminal. Oh, this is a war crimes. This is a war criminal, war criminal. 02:51 And then last night he announces the peace deal or the ceasefire. what did they, and then what did they start? And I told you, I told you they were going to do this. Keith Olbermann, a lot of people last night were calling him a taco. Trump always chickens out. So they need to really pick a lane.

They're still going to hate him. 03:21 Now, who I believe Trump is going to be very upset with, and hold on in just a second because again, a lot of moving parts here. Israel says that Lebanon was not part of the deal. From what we're hearing, the White House has also said Lebanon was not part of the deal. Pakistan is saying it was part of the deal. 03:47 And Iran is saying it was part of the deal. because Israel is bombing Lebanon, they're now shutting or partially shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. But we'll see. Right now we're seeing a little bit of an uptick in traffic over there. Well, Vice Admiral, oh my goodness, what is this guy's name?
