Iran says it has accepted a two-week ceasefire and a statement from Iran's Supreme National
“Security Council says it will negotiate with the U.S. and Islamabad beginning Friday.”
Iran issued the statement after President Trump said he's pulling back on threats to attacks civilian infrastructure, less than two hours before his Tuesday deadline, for Iran to reopen the straight-up for moves.

G-Hide" groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations Florida worry the measure unfairly targets Muslims and could limit first amendment protections for all Floridians.
