Newsmax reported yesterday that President Trump abruptly left the G7 meeting in Canada last week due to Iran telling the U.S. that it was going to activate its terrorist proxies on U.S. soil.  Then on Saturday evening the U.S. military, in stealth fashion, flew B-2 bombers in order to strike 3 Iranian nuclear facilities.  President Trump followed up by communicating that Iran should surrender unconditionally.  In response, Iran not only fired upon Israel but also upon U.S. interests in Qatar.  Afterward, a cease-fire was announced, only to have Israel and Iran fire upon each other again.

Back on the homefront, there was a vote in Congress to take up articles of impeachment against President Trump.  A strong bipartisan effort to table these articles was held this morning.  128 Democrats joined Republicans to kill the effort.

So, as our title asks, is the cease-fire on or off?  Are the Iranian sleeper cells we’ve been hearing about a real threat?  Will Iran close off the Strait of Hormuz?  Was Iran able to successfully have at least some of the enriched uranium removed prior to the U.S. bunker-buster bomb attack?

These questions and more are answered as Jim has Dr. Schmidt present his perspective while also presenting audio cuts from President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
