- John Mearsheimer: Trump is desperate, no exit option except admitting defeat
- Date posted
- 13 hours ago
- Description
- Recently, American political scientist and international relations scholar John Mearsheimer pointed out explicitly in his keynote address for the Arab Center's Eleventh Annual Conference that Trump is completely "desperate" in the current situation with Iran. He stated bluntly that Trump is "playing a losing hand," and that the US "can't go up the escalation ladder." Mearsheimer issued a stark warning that if he stubbornly continues on this path, the consequences would be enormous – it will do much more than destroy his presidency; it means that the global economy will go off a cliff. He emphasized that the only way the US can get out of this is to basically admit defeat.

- Description
- At least 25 people were killed and scores more were injured in a stampede at a mountaintop fortress in northern Haiti on Saturday, April 11.
The location was a popular tourist destination in Milot, 12 miles south of Cap-Haitien. Municipal authorities said in their preliminary investigation that severe overcrowding and a lack of proper crowd management led to the tragedy.
In a statement, authorities added that the stampede "resulted in numerous cases of asphyxiation, trampling and loss of consciousness." Dozens were treated at local hospitals, while many others were reported missing.
Haiti's government offered condolences to the families of the victims.

- Trump says Iran is “in very bad shape” as the US readies its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade was scheduled to start at 10:00 AM EST on Monday, April 13th.
U.S. forces threatened to stop ships traveling to and from Iran in an effort to cut off Iran's oil exports, while still allowing other global traffic to pass through one of the world’s most critical energy routes.
Iran denied that US ships were able to fully control the strait and warned any attack on its ports will make every Persian Gulf port insecure.
