    Trump and NATO, Shaky Ceasefire In Middle East, Lebanon's Day Of Mourning
    Apr 9 2026
    President Trump met with NATO's Secretary-General at the White House and blasted the alliance afterward for not helping during the war, as the ceasefire is already showing cracks less than 24 hours after it was announced.
    Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has started blocking ships in the Strait of Hormuz again, as Iran warns the U.S. it must choose between a ceasefire and continued war via Israel.
    And Lebanon declared a national day of mourning after Israeli strikes killed more than 250 people in a single day, with Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel this morning despite the ceasefire.

  • Trump-Iran Ceasefire, Iran On Trump's Reversal, Markets React To Reopening Of Hormuz

    Trump-Iran Ceasefire, Iran On Trump's Reversal, Markets React To Reopening Of Hormuz
    Apr 8 2026
    President Trump reached a last-minute ceasefire with Iran just before his deadline to bomb the country's bridges and power plants, with Iran agreeing to open the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks while negotiations continue over a 10-point peace proposal.
    Iran and the U.S. are both claiming victory, but the terms are murky and Israel says the deal does not include Lebanon, even as Hezbollah says it is abiding by the ceasefire.
    And global markets are surging on the news, but analysts warn the damage done to oil infrastructure will keep prices high for a long time to come.

  • Jamie Dimon on Iran, Trump and why he’s optimistic about AI | NPR’s Newsmakers

    Jamie Dimon on Iran, Trump and why he’s optimistic about AI | NPR’s Newsmakers
    Apr 7 2026
    In this bonus episode of Up First, we’re sharing the latest episode of NPR’s Newsmakers, featuring Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase, the nation’s largest bank. JPMorgan has a stake in almost everything. But unlike many CEOs, Dimon says it’s his job to speak out on many things.

    This week, Dimon released his annual letter to shareholders — a document that comments on banking issues and also assesses risks to the economy, from inflation to the war in Iran. The letter asserts his company is ready for anything — noting, among other things, that it has profited during economic booms and also during recessions.

    In this episode of NPR’s Newsmakers, Dimon tells host Steve Inskeep he didn’t worry much about the way President Trump’s contradictory statements tend to send financial markets sliding and soaring again, saying, “I have to deal with the world I got.”
