What is the current status of the ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Thursday, April 9th, 2026, and this is your AM Update.
The president's been very clear. The deal is a ceasefire, a negotiation. That's what we give. And what they give is that straits are going to be reopened.
Amid conflicting claims about conditions on the ground, U.S. negotiators prepare for in-person talks with the Iranians as a fragile ceasefire hangs in the balance. A powerful new AI tool raising serious security concerns.
The Democratic candidate currently leading in the California governor's race has a known history of being predatory towards women.
With unverified allegations about sexual misconduct swirling online, Democrat candidate for governor of California Eric Swalwell is speaking out. And an American woman missing in the Bahamas.
How is Lebanon involved in the ceasefire negotiations?

The fragile ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran holding for now, but already under strain, raising serious doubts about whether it will last. One major sticking point, whether Lebanon is part of the deal. The US and Israel say it's not. Israel continuing strikes tied to its campaign against Hezbollah, insisting Lebanon was never included, a position backed by the US.
Yesterday, Israel launching a wave of airstrikes hitting more than 100 Hezbollah command centers, reports the BBC.
Why is Anthropic withholding the release of its new AI software?
Iran insisting Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire and was. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posting to X, quote, the Iran-U.S. ceasefire terms are clear and explicit. The U.S. must choose ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both. The ball is in the U.S. court and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments. Pakistan, which helped broker the ceasefire, also says Lebanon was to be a part of the deal and said so from the first moment its prime minister announced the deal quite publicly Tuesday evening. Vice President J.D. Vance addressing the disagreement yesterday before departing a diplomatic trip to Hungary.
I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding. I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn't. We never made that promise. We never indicated that was going to be the case. What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran and the ceasefire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states. Now, that said, the Israelis, as I understand it, again, I'm supposed to get a fuller report when I get on the plane, have actually offered to be, frankly, to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful. That's not because that is part of the ceasefire. But look, if Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that's ultimately their choice.
