President Trump is threatening to blockade the state of Hormuz, one of the several key
“sticking points and failed peace talks with Iran, negotiations and Islamabad broke down”
overnight with disputes over nuclear ambitions, sanctions, and control of the critical oil
route. Betsy Joel's reports by President J.D. Vance and a U.S. delegation are on their way back to Washington. In a statement, Pakistan's foreign ministry said it would continue facilitating dialogue between the two sides. It has been doing this for weeks and was credited by both sides with helping make the ceasefire happen. The foreign ministry said that
several rounds of negotiations took place between Iran and the U.S. and that they ended this morning, Islamabad time. It said its army chief, Austin Munir, who President Trump has called his "favorite field marshal" was part of them. The fate of the ceasefire and prospects for longer-term peace remain uncertain. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson
said on ex that the success of the diplomatic process depends on seriousness and good
“faith from the American side. For NPR News, I'm Betsy Joel's in Islamabad.”
A vote is expected in the Senate this week on a resolution to limit President Trump's war powers over Iran and PR's Eric McDaniel reports lawmakers want Congress to reassert authority over military action. Democrats in Congress are going to force votes attempting to constrain the President on this war. The Constitution, of course, gives Congress the power to declare war, although it hasn't worked that way in practice in quite a while.
Those votes are expected to fail as have all of their past go rounds at this, but the President's post about ending Iranian civilization before announcing that ceasefire last week. At Senate PR's Eric McDaniel reporting, a number of Senate Republicans have said the war in Iran faces a time limit without congressional approval. As gas prices have taken a historic
leap during the war in Iran, some U.S. drivers are finding relief at an unusual place.
“NPR's Amy Held reports they're filling up on tribal lands.”
General Lewis of Snohomish County, Washington, has been spending about $150 to fill up her suburban. Now, she's driving at 25 minutes out of her way to the Tulalip Reservation. Their gas is about 10% cheaper. The U.S. has dozens of tribal-owned gas stations by and large exempt from paying state fuel taxes. Savings they can pass on. The gas stations also provide revenue for reservations
to reinvest in their communities. Concentrated in western states where the price is gas in the U.S. is found. For Lewis, finding it at 485 a gallon on the reservation has been a boon. That'll get me through the week. Amy Held and PR News. This is NPR News in Washington.
The German football team, Union Berlin, have name Mary Louise Edda as their new head coach
until the end of the season. It's the first time a woman has been appointed to manage a
men's team in the Bundesliga one of Europe's top five leagues. The BBC's Elector and Nace Smith has more. An accomplished former player, Marie Louise Edda is no stranger to breaking barriers. She became the Bundesliga's first female assistant coach just over two years ago. And she was the first woman to lead a Bundesliga side from the touch line, deputizing for the
their manager during a war-nil win over Domestat. But while men frequently manage women's sides, this is a much-rare prospect. The club says Eta hasn't been chosen to make a point, but because she's the natural choice, she'll certainly have her work cut-outs, only one only twice in their 14 Bundesliga games this year. The BBC's Elector and Nace Smith tickets to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles
or now on sale, will be rainy from the LA's reports fans are shocked by the high prices. Nace and LA went from ecstatic to heartbroken when they logged on to buy Olympics tickets and saw prices in the hundreds and thousands of dollars. Seats at the games start at 28 bucks, but go as high as 5,500, including a whopping 24% service fee on each ticket. And the cheap seats sold out fast. Olympics organizers say the ticket
costs are necessary to pay for the games, and that more cheap tickets will be made available in later drops. It will be rainy from the LA as reporting. I'm Windsor-Johnston and PR News in Washington.
