Editorial cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST.

Today we discuss:

• Iran says Hezbollah and Lebanon were part of the ceasefire deal. Pakistan, the mediator, confirms Iran’s understanding, as do France and the UK. Israel keeps bombing anyway. Now Iran says the Strait of Hormuz, open for ten minutes, is closed indefinitely. Is this a ceasefire, a fragile ceasefire, or all-out war, and will scheduled talks happen in Islamabad on Saturday?

• Desperate to end the war he started, Trump drafted an X post in which Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif pretended to ask the US and Iran to negotiate a ceasefire. But Sharif derped—and posted it with “*Draft - Pakistan’s PM Message on X*.” Iran is emboldened and Pakistan’s role as neutral arbiter has been exposed.

• Americans oppose the war by a 2-to-1 margin. Trump also suffers from a credibility gap; a majority think he is lying about Iran. Republicans worry that Trump’s attempts to end his war with Iran are too little, too late to save them from losing the House and Senate.

• For the first time, American men ages 18-26 will automatically be registered for the military draft by December.
