Donald Trump extends Iran ceasefire, says blockade will remain in place Added: Apr 21, 2026

President Trump announced Tuesday that he is extending the U.S. ceasefire with Iran until Tehran comes to the negotiating table with a proposal. “Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. He added the U.S. military would remain at the ready while maintaining its blockade of Iranian ports. The ceasefire would hold "until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other,” he continued. A White House official confirmed in a statement that the U.S. delegation’s trip to Pakistan would not be taking place Tuesday, adding that “any further updates on in-person meetings will be announced by the White House.” The extension marks an about-face for Trump, who said hours earlier in an interview with CNBC that he was opposed to extending the ceasefire. “We don’t have much time,” he said Tuesday morning, adding that he expected “bombing” to happen if no deal was made. He said Iran could get itself “on very good footing if they make a deal.” The announcement came after Iran’s state-run news agency Tasnim said Tuesday that the country’s negotiating team told the U.S. through Pakistan it would not attend talks in Islamabad. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked Trump for extending the ceasefire in a Truth Social post on Tuesday, saying the country would continue to act as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran. “I sincerely hope that both sides will continue to observe the ceasefire and be able to conclude a comprehensive ‘Peace Deal’ during the second round of talks scheduled at Islamabad for a permanent end to the conflict,” Sharif wrote. The White House announced Sunday that Vice President Vance would lead the U.S. delegation to Islamabad — which also included Trump’s chief envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner — for a second round of talks with the Iranians. However, on Tuesday, negotiations over a second round of talks appeared to be in limbo as Vance was still in Washington as the Wednesday end date for the two-week ceasefire approached. Trump did not give any further comment on the matter Tuesday afternoon during an event honoring NCAA champions in the White House, which quickly followed his ceasefire extension. Pakistani leaders worked intensively late Tuesday to get both sides to agree to a second round of ceasefire talks, The Associated Press reported. Pakistani Foreign Affairs Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday “urged both sides to consider extending the ceasefire, and to give dialogue and diplomacy a chance,” during a meeting with Natalie Baker, deputy chief of the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan, according to the ministry. Trump has consistently argued the U.S. has the upper hand when it comes to negotiations, often repeating that the U.S. military has taken out Tehran’s military, leadership and nuclear sites. Tensions between Washington and Tehran nearly reached a boiling point over the weekend after U.S. forces seized and attacked an Iranian cargo vessel that tried to evade the naval blockade in place near the Strait of Hormuz. It was the first interception by the U.S. since the blockade was put in place, and Iran vowed to respond, throwing the already fragile ceasefire into hotter water. A source familiar with the matter told The Hill on Saturday that U.S. troops in the region were prepared to conduct strikes against Iranian military targets if given the green light by Trump. On Sunday, Trump threatened to target Iranian infrastructure if Iran did not agree to the deal offered by the U.S. at negotiations. While Trump is holding back kinetic attacks on Iran, the Treasury Department announced new sanctions targeting Tehran’s ability to source parts for its ballistic missile and drone program. The sanctions came against 14 people, entities, and aircraft based in Iran, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, underscoring Tehran’s network across the region, even in countries it has attacked throughout the nearly two-month-long war. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday that Iran’s attacks on neighboring countries had made them more open to sharing information related to illicit Iranian networks. “The Iranian regime must be held accountable for its extortion of global energy markets and indiscriminate targeting of civilians with missiles and drones,” Bessent said in a statement. “Under President Trump’s leadership, as part of [Operation] Economic Fury, Treasury will continue to follow the money and target the Iranian regime’s recklessness and those who enable it.” Gregory Brew, senior analyst focusing on Iran and oil with the Eurasia Group, said Trump’s retreat on attacking Iran “feels like a signal to markets.” “Talks might be up in the air, but the shooting isn't going to resume tomorrow,” he posted on the social platform X. “Flip side is that if Iran was feeling any pressure from the CF [ceasefire] expiring, it doesn't feel any now.” Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, which advocates a restrained foreign policy, described Trump’s claims of an indefinite ceasefire as a way to find an off-ramp without trading concessions for Iran. “Not a stable situation, but one in which Trump pockets the central thing he sought - exiting the war - while Iran is bereft of the main thing it was looking for: Sanctions lifting,” he posted on X.

People consistently underestimate how often things go wrong across society
Added: Apr 21, 2026New psychology research shows people consistently underestimate how often things go wrong across society
Site: PsyPost - Psychology News
A new study reveals a widespread "failure gap," where people systematically underestimate how often bad outcomes happen. This bias is linked to how rarely failures are discussed in the news and on social media.
People systematically underestimate how often things go wrong in the world—a bias researchers call the “failure gap.” This mega-project was published in the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1037/pspa0000468"><em>Journal of Personality & Social Psychology</em></a>.
We rely on perceptions of how common events are when forming opinions, making decisions, and supporting policies. Prior research shows that these perceptions are often biased. Much of the literature has focused on optimism; for example, people tend to believe good outcomes are more likely and bad outcomes less likely, especially when those outcomes affect them. However, does this tendency extend beyond personal life to broader societal issues, such as crime, health, or economic failures?
Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and colleagues examined this broader question, asking whether people misjudge how often failures occur across many domains of life. They proposed that the issue may not just be optimism, but the way information is shared: failures are less frequently discussed than successes because they are uncomfortable, embarrassing, or socially costly to communicate. As a result, people may develop systematically skewed impressions of reality because they are exposed to incomplete information
The team ran a large, multi-study research program involving approximately 3000 participants, combining controlled online experiments, analyses of real-world data, and field studies to understand how people perceive failure and how those perceptions can be changed. Across the initial set of studies, participants recruited from platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk and Prolific were asked to estimate how often different kinds of failures occur across more than 30 domains, including national issues (e.g., crime, health care), global problems (e.g., poverty, pollution), and everyday personal experiences (e.g., relationship breakups, product returns).
In some cases, participants estimated multiple items within a single domain, while in others they focused on one type of failure. These estimates were then compared to real-world statistics drawn from official data sources. The researchers also varied how questions were framed, sometimes asking about failure directly and other times about success, to ensure that any bias was specific to failure rather than general misestimation.
To investigate why these misperceptions arise, the researchers examined how often failure versus success is discussed in widely available information sources. They conducted large-scale searches of approximately 2.4 million news articles using databases such as Nexis Uni, systematically comparing how frequently failures and successes were mentioned across domains that participants had previously evaluated. They extended this approach to other forms of shared information, including social media and online consumer reviews, to test whether the pattern held beyond traditional news.
The researchers also designed experiments where participants were exposed to curated information environments; for example, sets of reviews or headlines that either underrepresented or accurately reflected the true rate of failure to directly test whether exposure to skewed information shapes people’s beliefs.
The later studies moved beyond perception to examine when the bias might disappear and what consequences it has. Participants were asked to estimate failures in contexts where sharing negative experiences had recently become more socially acceptable, such as reports of sexual misconduct following the #MeToo movement, allowing the researchers to test whether reduced stigma increases awareness.
Finally, a series of field and online experiments examined how correcting misperceptions influences real-world attitudes and decisions. These included samples of voters, educators, and workplace managers, who were provided with accurate statistics about failure rates and then asked to make judgments about policies such as criminal punishment, school discipline, workplace stigma, and parental leave.
Across the studies, the results revealed a robust and consistent pattern: people substantially underestimated how often failures occur. This was true across national, international, and individual domains, as well as within specific contexts like sports, education, and medication effectiveness. Even when the structure of a situation made the true answer obvious, such as competitive sports, where the wins and losses must balance, participants still underestimated failure rates. On average, failures occurred far more frequently in reality than people believed, indicating a broad and systematic gap between perception and reality.
The researchers also found strong evidence that this gap is linked to how information is shared. Failures were consistently underrepresented in news coverage, social media, and online reviews relative to their true occurrence. When people were experimentally exposed to information environments that downplayed failure, their estimates became even more inaccurate.
Conversely, when the information they encountered accurately reflected real-world failure rates, the gap narrowed. In contexts where discussing failure had become more normalized (e.g., public conversations about sexual misconduct), the usual pattern weakened or even reversed, suggesting that visibility and openness play a key role in shaping perceptions.
Importantly, correcting these misperceptions had meaningful downstream effects on attitudes and decision-making. When participants learned the true prevalence of failures, they became less supportive of harsh punitive measures, such as strict disciplinary actions or mass incarceration, and more supportive of policy changes aimed at addressing underlying problems. In workplace and policy contexts, increased awareness of failure rates also reduced stigma and encouraged more supportive practices, such as extending parental leave.
Taken together, these findings demonstrate not only that people misjudge failure, but that these misjudgments can shape important social and institutional decisions.
One limitation is that the failure gap may depend on context and culture; because most participants came from Western, educated populations, it remains unclear whether the same pattern generalizes globally.
The research, “<a href="https://doi.org/10.1037/pspa0000468">The Failure Gap</a>” was authored by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler, Kaitlin Woolley, Minhee Kim, and Eliana Polimeni.

Site: RSS.com
In this episode of Books to Battles, hosts Dr. Whitman Cobb and Col Hollon interview the Chief of Space Operations, the senior uniformed leader of the U.S. Space Force, General Chance Saltzman, Gen. Saltzman traces his career from missile operations to leading a new military service and reflects on how the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies shaped his approach to critical thinking, communication, and strategy. He argues that space has transitioned from a supporting function to an integrated warfighting domain, requiring new doctrine, training models, and organizational structures. The conversation highlights the Space Force’s shift toward operating in contested environments, its growing integration into joint operations, and the strategic implications of commercial space partnerships. Saltzman concludes by assessing institutional progress and identifying force growth, training capacity, and resource execution as central challenges ahead.
