President Trump extends the Iran ceasefire, giving the fractured regime more time to come to the table. Iran can get themselves on a very good footing if they make a deal. I want to make, not a good deal, I want to make a great deal. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Wednesday, April 22nd. This is Morning Wire.
Typically, when a member is facing serious charges, they will just resign from Congress. You saw two examples of that last week.
Another resignation in Congress and high-profile departure from the White House. We look at the shakeups and the new leadership taking the reins.
And Congress launches an investigation after several nuclear and aerospace scientists die or disappear under mysterious circumstances.
There are 11 individuals. Five of them went missing. Six of them were dead. Of those six, two of them were murdered.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

President Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely just a day before it was set to expire and also said the blockade will remain in place.
Here with the latest is Daily Wire contributor Tim Pearce. Morning, Tim. So a lot has changed in a very short time here. The clock was ticking on that ceasefire. Now it's extended suddenly with this announcement from Trump. So where exactly do things stand now? Yeah, the president has given the faction inside Iran that wants a peace deal some room to negotiate.
He announced over True Social that he would extend the ceasefire because of the chaos that the war has caused inside the Iranian regime. Now, hours before that post, Trump had actually said on CNBC that he didn't want to do that and that he was prepared to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges. It's not my choice, but it will also hurt them. It'll hurt them militarily.
They use the bridges for their weapons, for their missile weapons. You know, they're trying to move the missiles because we've obliterated most of their missiles, and they're trying to move their missiles around, even during the ceasefire, which I think was a good thing because we're totally loaded up.
Those strikes have now been put off, but the president said that the blockade on Iranian shipping will remain in place, and this will be the state of the war at least until Iran comes up with a unified proposal. So the longer Iran takes to unify, the more damage will be done to their economy as the United States blocks their oil from reaching global markets.
In that CNBC interview, Trump made clear that he won't be rushed into a deal and that all the pressure should remain on Iran. And on that, he took aim at Democrats for trying to pressure him to end the conflict. I want to make a good deal.

Chapter 3: How are recent leadership changes affecting Congress?
I'm not going to be rushed. I have all the time in the world. And I don't want to be rushed by people that are really treasonous as far as I'm concerned. And it's just, you know, I watch this low IQ guy, Hakeem Jeffries. He's a totally low IQ person. And he's always ranting and raving, oh, this war is so terrible, terrible.
They shouldn't be saying that when we're in the midst of a negotiation, because it does hurt us somewhat. It gives the other side some hope, and I don't want them to have hope. Now, pressure on Iran is building. For the first time since this conflict started, Beijing on Monday called for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened.
That's significant because China has been one of Iran's biggest backers, but it is also one of Iran's biggest customers for crude oil. So the longer the U.S. blockade stays in place, the more China's economy suffers as well. Right, lots of strain on China because of this situation. Speaking of the blockade, yesterday we saw it expanded well outside the strait to the Indian Ocean.
What can you tell us about that?
Chapter 4: What investigation is the House Oversight Committee launching?
Right, the U.S. military is now chasing down sanctioned vessels wherever it can find them, apparently. The War Department announced yesterday that it had caught an Iranian-linked cargo ship called the Tiffany, which the Pentagon called stateless but said was used by Iran to traffic sanctioned goods.
The Pentagon said in a statement, "...as we have made clear, we will pursue global maritime enforcement efforts to disrupt illicit networks and interdict sanctioned vessels providing material support to Iran anywhere they operate." According to reports, the Tiffany had loaded up Iranian crude from Karg Island before it arrived at a port in China in late March.
The president spoke vaguely about the seizure yesterday on CNBC. Here's some of that. We caught a ship yesterday that had some things on it, which wasn't very nice. A gift from China, perhaps. I don't know. But I was a little surprised because I have a very good relationship and I thought I had an understanding with President Xi, but that's all right. That's the way war goes, right?
And with all this going on, we also have Trump pleading for the women about to be executed in Iran. What is happening with that situation? Yeah, throughout all of this, Iran continues to put dissidents to death. And it's not clear how that will affect negotiations, but the president did yesterday try to curb those executions.
As you mentioned, Trump did put out a post on True Social yesterday with a message for Iran to spare and release those eight women. The president said that if the regime were to let them go, it would, quote, be a great start to our negotiations. Many people, including us, praying for the victims of this regime. Tim, thanks so much for reporting. Thanks for having me.
