But according to Iranian state media, Tehran has rejected a U.S. proposal, quoting a senior Iranian security official who says Iran will end the war when its conditions are met. Those conditions include the right of Iran to control the straight of our moves. Iran has refused President Trump's demands to reopen the straight to oil and gas shipments. Trump has made a series of other demands, sometimes contradictory, they include unconditional
surrender, regime change, a hand-in-picking Iran's next leader, and an end to Iran's nuclear weapons program. When asked about the possibility of more talks this weekend, Levitt said nothing has been officially announced.
Iran's foreign minister appeared on state television Wednesday saying messages have been

The jury in Los Angeles has found meta in Google, libel in a case brought by a 20-year-old woman.
“She accused the companies of contributing to her social media addiction.”
Here's the federal reporting. On the 9th day of deliberations, the jury found that meta in Google were both negligent. That both knew of the potential dangers of their apps, especially when it came to young people. And failed to take sufficient action or war newsers.
The jurors awarded the 20-year-old woman a total of $6 million dollars.
For a 20-month linear admitted that he thought the damages would be higher, but still called it a significant ruling. This is a landmark moment, it will reverberate. I'll tell you this, if the jury had returned to know, the champagne corks would be popping in the boardrooms of Google and meta.
Many similar lawsuits have already been filed against social media companies and legal experts predict the verdict is likely to trigger many more. For MP or news, I'm Steve Fuderman, in Los Angeles.

A group of Jewish faculty members at Harvard criticizing the Trump administration's latest charges of anti-Semitism against the university. From a member stationed in GPH in Boston, Kirk Caripesa reports. More than 100 Jewish professors have signed an open letter condemning the Trump administration's actions against their university.
The letter says the administration is weaponizing anti-Semitism as a way to target Harvard and other schools. Professor Stephen Levitsky teaches government and helped organize the letter. He says the group opposes what he calls a broader authoritarian project. Jews thrive in a democratic environment with free independent universities, freedom of
expression, and broad protection of civil liberties. And this administration's behavior is threatening those things. The professors are demanding the justice department drop its lawsuit for NPR News.
