according to Iran State TV, quoting a senior unnamed official.
“The Iranian government is rejecting that plan. Iran says it'll end the war and strikes on its neighbors only”
if the U.S. amongst other things pays Iran war damages and reparations. Here's NPR's Emily Fang. The U.S. has been pushing Iran to reopen the street of Formos and let energy exports flow to the rest of the world again. Iran has refused and Iran's state broadcaster reports a senior political security official has rejected the U.S. proposal, setting up five conditions. These include ending the war only if the U.S.
stopped assassinating Iranian leaders and setting up mechanisms to ensure the U.S. could not wage war on Iran again. The official also asked for the U.S. to pay for war damages. Joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran hit thousands of targets, including many government buildings, gas pipeline, schools and hospitals. Iran also demanded the U.S. recognize its sovereign right to control the
street of Formos. Emily Fang and Pyrenees van Turkey. Now to Lebanon where NPR's law and fair reports Iran backed fighters have been locked in battle with Israeli forces.
“In hearing loud booms through the night, Israel says its targeting has bullet”
militants in Beirut suburbs, so just south of where I am.
You have a powerful force in Lebanese politics distinct from the government.
It's backed by Iran. Israel says its killed commanders of Iran's revolutionary guards here inside Lebanon. Human rights groups say the cost of civilian lives in the country has been disproportionate. The Lebanese government says more than 1,000 people have been killed this month, including 33 lives lost yesterday.
It also says nearly a fifth of the entire population in Lebanon has been displaced. Still, no sign of relief for air travelers at multiple major U.S. airports have been enduring lengthy lines at security check points with ongoing TSA staffing shortages, many workers have called out sick or quit. Others have been working for weeks without pay.
The acting TSA administrator describes a reality at airports as she testified to date a congressional hearing into security gaps in the wake of the DHS funding labs. During the 43 day shutdown last fall, TSA experienced a 25% increase in TSO separations when compared to that same time period the year before.
We have already lost over 480 TSOs this shutdown and our callout rates have accelerated as our workforce was still reeling from the last shutdown. At last, check on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 250 points or more than half a percent at 46,374. The SMP's risen half a percent as well.
From Washington, this is NPR news. Gasoline prices are inching closer to the $4 a gallon mark. Here's NPR Scott Horsley. 45% of Americans say they're concerned about being able to afford gasoline in the coming months. That's according to a new survey from the Associated Press in the National opinion
Research Center. Triple A says the average price of gasoline nationwide now tops $3.98 a gallon. That's up about a dollar since the war with Iran began. Cruital prices have eased a bit on hopes for a negotiated end of the conflict. The U.S. benchmark for crude is dropped below $90 a barrel.
The leader of the European Central Bank is warning businesses may be quick to raise prices in response to the wartime surge in energy costs, or a poor from SMP global shows businesses are already hiking prices at the fastest pace in three and a half years. Scott Horsley, in PR news, Washington.
New survey shows nearly one-third of Americans have sought health advice using artificial intelligence
according to KFF. Here's NPR as you can agree. People under the age of 30 are far more likely to turn to AI, especially when it comes to advice on mental health. The KFF survey on health information and trust found there were three times more likely
to seek emotional support from AI than those 50 and over. The ability to ask questions quickly and in private were big reasons people do so. But one in five people consulted AI because they either could not afford care or lack to provide her. Again, those under age 30 were far more likely to cite those as reasons for turning to chat

“But what if one morning you try to turn on the tap and nothing comes out?”
That is a reality that many people already face. For much of the world, normal is gone. What happens when our most vital resource runs out?
