Trump criticizes Pope Leo XIV as tensions grow over Iran war
— Pope Leo says he has ‘no fear’ of Trump, vows to keep speaking out against Iran war
On Sunday, President Donald Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV on Truth Social, branding the pontiff "weak on crime" (catering to the 'Radical Left') and "terrible for foreign policy" over his criticism of U.S. wartime rhetoric — also claiming the pontiff supports Iran having a 'Nuclear Weapon.'
Amid high-stakes U.S.-Iran negotiations, Leo previously condemned Trump's threat to destroy "the whole Iranian civilization" as "truly unacceptable," fueling the growing rift between the White House and the Vatican.
Shortly after his post, Trump shared an AI-generated image portraying himself as a messianic figure, while telling reporters he is "not a big fan" of the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.
Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, rebuked the president, stating he was "disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father."
The pontiff departs Monday for an 11-day tour of four African countries, where nearly 20 per cent of the world's Catholics reside, maintaining focus on global diplomacy despite domestic tensions.
On Monday, Pope Leo XIV told reporters he will continue speaking out against war, defying public criticism from President Donald Trump during his first major international trip to Algiers.
Eric Swalwell drops bid for California governor after sexual misconduct allegations
— DHS Looking Into Allegations Rep. Eric Swalwell Hired Nanny Not Authorized to Work in U.S.
On Sunday, Rep. Eric Swalwell suspended his California gubernatorial campaign, stating he is "deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment" while vowing to fight what he called "serious, false allegations" of sexual misconduct.
Reports from the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN published Friday detailed accounts from four women alleging sexual misconduct, including accusations that Swalwell raped a former staffer in 2019 and again in 2024 while she was intoxicated.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office confirmed Saturday it is investigating the 2024 allegation, while more than 50 former staffers issued a joint statement calling the allegations "serious and credible" and urging Swalwell to resign from Congress.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other prominent Democrats withdrew support within hours, while Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said Saturday she plans to file a motion "to expel Eric Swalwell from Congress."
Swalwell's withdrawal reshapes California's June 2 primary, where Democratic leaders feared a crowded field could split votes and allow two Republican candidates to advance to November's general election unchallenged.
Nanny?! On Sunday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services referred allegations that Congressman Eric Swalwell employed a Brazilian national without lawful work authorization to the Department of Homeland Security for investigation.
Allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced Friday when the San Francisco Chronicle detailed a former staffer's accusations that Swalwell assaulted her in 2019 and 2024, prompting the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to open an investigation.
Complaints allege Swalwell used campaign funds to pay nanny Barbosa after her work authorization expired in 2022. The DHS complaint states Barbosa appears in social media photos throughout 2023 and 2024, indicating continued employment despite lacking authorization.
Swalwell suspended his gubernatorial campaign Sunday as support collapsed; more than 50 former staffers called the allegations "credible," and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries withdrew his endorsement.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, plans to force a vote to expel Swalwell from Congress as soon as midweek. Swalwell denied the allegations are "false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor.
Trump says U.S. will blockade Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail
Revolver.News/Breitbart: No Deal! Vance Walks Away From Iran Talks in Pakistan After Tehran Rejects American Requirements for Peace… — Iran Int’l Trump considers resuming ‘limited’ military strikes on Iran… — NY Post: Iran issues dire warning about President Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade… a “forceful response”...
— U.S. Central Command says it will begin blockade of Iranian ports Monday — Iran Lost Track of Its Own Mines in Hormuz, NYT Reports — U.K. Will Not Help in Blockade of Strait of Hormuz — BUT: Iran, US ‘sincere’ about ceasefire, Turkey’s foreign minister says —
Trump: On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced the United States Navy would "immediately" begin blockading the Strait of Hormuz, instructing forces to destroy Iranian mines and interdict vessels paying tolls to Iran.
Negotiations in Islamabad ended without agreement on Sunday as the United States and Iran failed to bridge core disputes over Iran's nuclear program, leaving the 14-day ceasefire in doubt — refusal to abandon its 60-percent enriched uranium stockpile and renounce nuclear ambitions.
Responsible for transporting 20% of global oil, the Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint where the United States military transited two destroyers ahead of mine-clearing operations, a first since the war began.
While Trump did not signal immediate resumption of full-scale warfare, he warned the military stands "LOCKED AND LOADED" and is ready to "finish up the little that is left of Iran" if interference occurs.
Neither the United States nor Iran has indicated what follows the 14-day ceasefire's expiration on April 22, though Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated his country will attempt to facilitate new diplomatic dialogue.
Central Command: On Monday at 10 a.m. ET, U.S. Central Command will begin a blockade of Iranian ports, enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian coastal areas and ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to interdict vessels in international waters that paid tolls to Iran, declaring, "THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION," and instructed forces to destroy Iranian-laid mines in the waterway.
CENTCOM clarified that forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports, signaling the blockade targets Iranian traffic without disrupting global shipping corridors.
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned, "If you fight, we will fight," while Tehran dismissed the blockade as "ridiculous" and asserted it maintains full control over the strategic waterway despite U.S. action.
Mines: According to the New York Times, Iran lost track of mines deployed in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, with US officials saying the mines were placed "haphazardly" without clear command oversight.
The Strait of Hormuz… faces severe transit disruptions due to these mines, making safe passage nearly impossible.
MaritimeTraffic reported nine ships transited the Strait on Thursday, a figure well below the prewar average of over 130 vessels per day as operational risks remain high.
President Donald Trump demanded the "complete, immediate, and safe opening" of the Strait on Tuesday, while Iran plans to charge a $2 million toll for ships taking detours through Iranian waters.
Neither American nor Iranian forces currently possess the specialized tools needed to remove the marine mines, creating a prolonged stalemate that complicates reopening the waterway for international commerce.
Trump announced plans to blockade the Strait, aiming to halt nearly 2 million barrels of Iranian oil daily while threatening to interdict any vessel in International Waters that has paid tolls to Iran.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer noted Britain already has mine-hunting systems in the Strait to assist, while Downing Street works with France and other partners to establish a coalition protecting freedom of navigation.
Trump criticized Starmer for refusing to support offensive operations, comparing the Prime Minister to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and calling the defensive alliance "shameful.
Palestinian killed in West Bank as violence surges during Iran war
A Palestinian man was killed in West Bank amid ongoing violence that has left 22 people dead since the start of the Iran war.
Israel Defense Forces said a reservist soldier shot the man during a violent riot near Ramallah; he later died in hospital.
The military has opened an investigation, while Palestinians and rights groups question accountability in such incidents.

Viktor Orbán concedes Hungarian election to challenger Péter Magyar, ending his 16 years in power
— US Democrats cheer defeat of Trump ally Orban in Hungary — REVOLVER/European Conservative: After 16 years in power, Viktor Orban loses in landslide…
Orbán concedes: On Sunday, April 12, 2026, opposition leader Péter Magyar announced that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat in a phone call, ending Orbán's 16-year grip on power.
Record voter turnout of 77.8% underscored the election's pivotal nature, with early results projecting the Tisza party to win 128 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly versus Fidesz's 62.
Magyar, a 45-year-old former Fidesz insider, campaigned on government corruption and faltering public services, successfully consolidating opposition support after breaking from Fidesz in 2024 to form Tisza.
Potential reconciliation with the European Union could follow, as a new government might unblock a $104 billion EU loan package for Ukraine and align Budapest with mainstream European policies.
Fidesz has alleged electoral violations despite the projections, insisting they remain confident in securing 100 parliamentary seats, as official results will not be finalized for a week.
Democrats cheer: On Sunday, opposition challenger Péter Magyar defeated Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Hungary's parliamentary election, ending his 16-year tenure as Magyar's Tisza party won 138 of 199 seats.
Record voter turnout exceeding 77 percent drove the result, as Magyar campaigned relentlessly, visiting up to six towns daily, positioning himself as a pro-European alternative to Orbán's 'illiberal democracy.'
An independent documentary, 'The Price of a Vote,' exposed alleged bribery networks in Fidesz strongholds, while whistleblowers revealed intimidation tactics including threats to public employees and housing subsidies.
European leaders congratulated Magyar, who pledged to rebuild relationships with the European Union and NATO; U.S. Democrats celebrated the defeat, while Republican allies lamented the loss of a leader who had blocked a $104 billion EU loan to Ukraine.
With a supermajority, the incoming government plans to pursue anti-corruption reforms and undo constitutional changes, though both parties reported electoral violations, introducing uncertainty as Hungary prepares for political transition.

Using the "America 250 MS" platform, the Two Mississippi Museums are commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary by presenting the state's full history, from Native American removal through slavery, the Civil War, and Jim Crow.
Jackson Mayor John Horhn (black, 71) and former Governor Haley Barbour (white man, 78) pushed to "tell the full story," seeking to avoid whitewashing history. Barbour said, "Look, we're not proud of this, but we're not going to deny it."
The Lynching Victims Monolith displays names of more than 600 victims of documented racial killings in Mississippi. Exhibits also present the 1955 murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till, a pivotal Civil Rights Movement moment.
This approach contrasts sharply with President Donald Trump's administration; his "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" order led to altered exhibits and removed references to discrimination at federal institutions.
Visitor Lindsay Ward described the museum experience as "this heaviness," troubled by how recent the injustices were. Kiama Johnson emphasized the importance of preserving stories that are "never going to be written in history books.
