WASHINGTON (April 8, 2026) — Wall Street is witnessing a "Trump Rally" for the history books this morning as the global economy exhales a massive sigh of relief.

Following the President’s masterstroke ceasefire, stock futures have ignited: the Dow is up a staggering 1,200 points, the Nasdaq has surged 840 points, and the S&P 500 is climbing 175 points.

As the first line of tankers and cargo ships begins to move freely through the Strait of Hormuz, the "war premium" is evaporating, replaced by the raw power of American-led stability.

Here is what President Trump had to say this morning on Truth social.

PENTAGON UPDATE: "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"

In a somber but triumphant briefing this morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine provided the final metrics on the campaign.

The report is clear: Operation Epic Fury has been a total success. General Caine took a moment to honor the 13 fallen heroes lost during the conflict, delivering a steel-nerved promise that their ultimate sacrifice will not be in vain.

"We have met and exceeded every strategic objective," Caine stated, confirming that the Iranian threat has been effectively neutralized.

IRAN’S ARSENAL ERASED

The most devastating detail from the Pentagon’s update is the total dismantling of Iran’s offensive capabilities. Hegseth reported that the U.S. military has successfully destroyed every single missile-making factory within the country.

Iran’s missile-manufacturing infrastructure is gone. They no longer have the capacity to replenish their arsenal or threaten their neighbors with long-range strikes. The IRGC’s "sword" has been shattered across the anvil of American air power.

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Adding fuel to the market's fire, President Trump took to Truth Social this morning to address the nation. He emphasized that the "Peace Through Strength" doctrine has delivered exactly what was promised.

The President noted that many of the "so-called experts" who predicted a decades-long quagmire are once again silent as the administration moves into the final phase of securing a long-term, verifiable peace.

WILL THE PEACE HOLD?

The question on everyone’s mind this morning is whether this ceasefire will actually hold for the full fourteen days.

Make no mistake: the answer depends entirely on the Iranian regime. History has shown us that these people are habitual liars; they have a track record of ignoring every agreement ever made with the UN and the IAEA. The evidence of their deception was laid bare for the world to see in the form of their long-range missile stockpile and that 62% enriched uranium we just uncovered.

The President has been clear: the bombers are fueled and the targets are still locked. If the IRGC tries to play any "cute games" or stalls on the retrieval of their nuclear material, the ceasefire ends instantly. It’ll be back to "Power Plant and Bridge Day: Part II," and this time, the lights won't be coming back on.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

 The ships are moving, the factories are rubble, and the markets are celebrating the return of a world where America leads and terrorists lose. The 13 heroes we lost secured a future where the Strait remains open and the radical regime in Tehran is left powerless.

Go USA. The objectives were met, the enemy was broken, and the economy is soaring. Support the President.
