Welcome to the Daily Briefing. Start with these headlines:
Nicole Fallert<\/a><\/strong><\/em> here, bringing you the news to know on Wednesday, from Trump announcing a ceasefire with Iran to a narrow GOP win in Georgia. Plus: Zendaya and her”Euphoria” classmates return.
President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0announced the U.S. reached a two-week ceasefire with Iran<\/a> Tuesday evening after earlier threatening to destroy Iranian energy and transportation infrastructure and\u00a0wipe out a “whole civilization.”\u00a0
What happened:<\/strong> The pause came less than two hours before the 8 p.m. ET deadline Trump set for a deal. The agreement, the president said, will be contingent on Iran allowing oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>, the waterway used to ship much of the world’s oil.
The politics:<\/strong> Some Republicans delivered rebuke<\/a> to Trump ahead of the ceasefire announcement. And a wave of lawmakers called to invoke the 25th Amendment<\/a> to remove Trump.
Why is the waterway so important?<\/strong> Some 20% of the world\u2019s oil and natural gas supply passes through<\/a> the narrow channel.
TV<\/span><\/strong>
Zendaya led the stars<\/a> who wowed on the red carpet for\u00a0HBO’s “Euphoria.”<\/a>\u00a0Season 3<\/a>\u00a0was unveiled with a gala premiere on April 7, 2026, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Masters 2026<\/span><\/strong>
The\u00a0Masters Par 3 contest<\/a>\u00a0will tee off on Wednesday at Augusta National Golf Club as part of the lead-up to the 2026 Masters<\/a>. This wholesome event before the competition for the green jacket officially begins features the wives and children<\/a> of the world\u2019s best golfers serving as caddies inside the ropes.
