“When Iran's demands as an interhospitalities in Lebanon, where Israel has sought to wipe out”
Iran's allies, his bull-up, the U.S. demands include the reopening of a straight-of-armuse. John Finer is former principal deputy national security adviser under President Biden and he took part in two years of talks with Iran that led to a deal to limit the country's nuclear program, a deal that President Trump upended. He talked about the prospects of this weekend's talks.
"Every negotiation with Iranians takes maddeningly longer than you intend and then you would like and I don't think this will be any different, especially because if they believe they have the upper hand of strategically going into these negotiations. So a good outcome to me would be an agreement to talk again at a fixed date and with some positive momentum towards extending this two-week ceasefire."
Finer and NPR is here and now, Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky publicly confirmed
that Ukrainian teams sent to several Gulf countries have helped take down Iranian-attack drones. We have more from NPR as Joann Gakisis. Zelensky said he had seen video footage from the Gulf of Ukrainian weapons taking down Iranian shahed drones, which have struck several sites, including U.S. bases in the Middle East over the last month.
“He did not say in which Gulf countries the Ukrainian team shot down these drones, citing”
security reasons. In the last couple of weeks, Zelensky has visited the region and signed defense deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Russia has been using shahed drones to strike Ukrainian cities nearly every night, so Ukraine has developed ways to destroy them.
This includes electronic jamming, as well as small, cheap, and orceptored drones that blow-up shaheds. Joann Gakisis and PR news, came.

that there be a thorough and complete investigation.

For Julio Sosa-Selis, who was shot and survived, DHS said an internal investigation is underway.

During their fiery reentry, the astronauts will be protected by their spacecraft's heat shield. But for it to work, flight controllers have to make sure that the capsule comes in at exactly
the right flight path angle. Jeff Radigan is a NASA flight director. Let's not beat around the bush. We have to hit that angle correctly. Otherwise, we're not going to have a successful entry.
He says once the capsule enters the atmosphere, communications will be knocked out for about six minutes, waiting to re-acquire the astronaut's signal will be a tense time at Mission Control in Houston. If all goes to plan, parachutes will deploy, and the capsule will splash down off the coast of San Diego, California.
