WASHINGTON — The CIA used a futuristic new tool called “Ghost Murmur” to find and rescue the second American airman who was shot down in southern Iran, The Post has learned. The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise, two sources close to the breakthrough said. It was the tool’s first use in the field by the spy agency — and was alluded to Monday afternoon by President Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe at a White House briefing.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he agreed to suspend planned attacks on Iranian infrastructure for two weeks. The move was “subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz,” he wrote on Truth Social. The announcement came less than two hours before his deadline on Iran to either make a deal that includes opening the Strait of Hormuz or else face major attacks on its civilian infrastructure. Trump wrote that he made the decision “based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan.”

It is absolutely self-evident to me that space exploration is pointless, and the more urgent the crises besetting this planet we live on, the more pointless it becomes. I can see why people got excited about it in the 1960s, back when the world was young and we still thought there might be little green people out there – who wouldn’t want to meet them? Most serious opinion, however, has now settled on the “Where is everybody?” paradox first framed by the physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950. If there is intelligent life anywhere, why has it not sought to make contact? It’s because there isn’t. There’s nothing out there

President Donald Trump is considering a Pakistani proposal to give Iran negotiations another two weeks. The possible deescalation comes just hours ahead of an 8 p.m. EDT deadline that Trump gave to Tehran to strike a deal and open the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of Iranian “civilization.” Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has been involved in the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, posted a request on X urging “President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks” and requesting that Iran open the strait “for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture.”

President Donald Trump said that the United States is in “heated negotiations” over the Iran war, declining to elaborate on the talks. “I can’t tell you, because right now we’re in heated negotiations,” Trump told Fox News in a brief phone interview when asked how he’s feeling about talks. Trump said that he was about to be fully briefed on Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s proposed two-week ceasefire — to which the White House told CNN earlier Tuesday “a response will come.”

Tehran, Iran – United States President Donald Trump says daily life could be different for more than 90 million Iranians on Wednesday, after his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz expires. Trump says that Iran’s electricity, bridges, and other critical infrastructure will be bombed if it does not open the vital waterway, despite the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure being a violation of international law. In the last hours before the 8pm US Eastern Time (23:00 GMT) deadline approaches, Iranians are left to worry about the consequences of attacks that Trump has threatened would be the death of “a whole civilisation“.

Late last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) wife appeared at something called the Common Sense Summit on Kids and Families in San Francisco and bragged about coming legislation that will force tech companies to “be a force for good” when it comes to stopping boys from becoming Republican-curious. Of course, “a force for good” will be Gavin and Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s definition of “good,” which means that queering and transing kids is a virtue while conservative beliefs become illegal. California’s obnoxious and authoritarian “first partner”

President Trump used his Truth Social account to warn Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight” unless “something revolutionarily wonderful” happens. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump warned. “However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?” “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World,” the president added. “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

Iranian authorities are urging young people, students, artists, athletes, and volunteer groups to form “human chains” around power plants across the country just hours before President Donald Trump’s deadline for a deal expires, effectively gathering civilians at infrastructure sites the United States has explicitly threatened to strike. The campaign, promoted through Iran’s Ministry of Sports and Youth, is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday local time — roughly 13 hours before Trump’s 8 p.m. Eastern deadline — and has been branded “Human Chain of Iran’s Youth for a Bright Future.”

The United States struck military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island overnight, a White House official said Tuesday. Kharg Island is the lifeline of Iran’s oil economy, as roughly 90 percent of the country’s crude oil is handled there. An official told NBC News the strikes were on the northern side of the island and did not strike any oil facilities; instead, they hit military bunkers and other storage and military facilities. No troops on the ground were involved. This is the second time the U.S. has struck the island after an initial strike last month.

Free Speech For People said in a press release Monday that a new national poll found “a majority of likely 2026 voters nationwide support impeaching President Donald Trump,” which the group called “an extraordinary and unprecedented level of support so early in a presidential term.” The poll, conducted by Lake Research Partners from March 26-30 among 800 likely 2026 general election voters, found that 52 percent support impeaching Trump, while 40 percent oppose it. 46 percent said they strongly support impeachment, compared with 37 percent who strongly oppose it, while 8 percent said they were unsure or had no opinion.

HOUSTON (AP) — After traveling deeper into space than any other humans, the Artemis II astronauts pointed their moonship toward home Monday night, wrapping up a lunar cruise that revealed views of the far side never beheld by eyes until now. Their flyby of the moon even included some celestial sightseeing besides yielding rich science — a significant step toward landing boot prints near the moon’s south pole in just two years. A total solar eclipse greeted the three Americans and one Canadian as the moon temporarily blocked the sun from their perspective. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn nodded at them from the black void.
