President Trump says constructive conversations are underway between the U.S. and Iran. And he says he held off on the U.S. bombing Iran's power plants to give these conversations more time. But Iran disputes this, and its foreign ministry says there have been no talks with the U.S. since the start of the war, and no change in Iran's position on the state of
Hermuz. They did, however, say there are efforts by countries in the region to reduce tensions. Trump says he wants Iran to stop all nuclear enrichment and its missile program degraded. Iran has long rejected these terms, and says it wants compensation now for the war. Iran and the U.S. were in the midst of nuclear talks last month, when the U.S. and Israel
launched war, killing Iran supreme leader into Iran. A-A-Betrarway and Pair News, Dubai.

He wants them to focus on an election's bill first, and he says he won't sign anything until he gets that. The election's bill is not likely to pass the Senate.
The New York Times and other media report President Trump cast a mail ballot for a special local election today in Florida. He did that previously in 2020, but Trump continues to bash mail ballots as cheating. This comes as the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case from Mississippi yesterday involving certain mail ballots.
A current law allows some mail-in ballots to be counted after election day, and Pair's Ashley Lopez explains. 14 states plus DC and some U.S. territories count mail-in ballots that are received after election day, as long as they're post-marked on time. There are public and national committee argues.
This is in a legal practice because Congress set an election day. They argued that means that all voting and receipt of ballots end that day. However, Mississippi officials argued voters submitting their ballot in the mail-by election day, complies with federal statute, even ballots that aren't received by officials until after election day.
Members of the courts conservative majority appeared to be skeptical of this argument though two of the six were tougher to read, liberal members of the court suggested, however, that it is up to Congress to set rules on how states run elections, Ashley Lopez and Pianos.
