But the meeting is in question.
“This comes as the U.S. disabled and board an Iranian flag container ship going to Iran.”
NPR's Jain Iraq says Iran state news agency quoted a senior Iranian official who says Iran has no plans for the next round of negotiations. That U.S. seizure of the vessel, the container ship, played into that, of course. And then there is the Iranian drone attack in response to that. Iran said the U.S. was clearly not serious about negotiations, especially after
new threats by President Trump, to bomb all power plants and bridges. It said all of this was intended to do what it called betrayed diplomacy. Over the weekend, Iran said it would again close the straight of Hormuz, the U.S. is maintaining its blockade of Iranian ports.

One of the adults who was wounded was the mother of the suspects children. Local leaders reacted with shock. Shreafport Councilwoman Tabitha Taylor broke down in tears as she spoke to reporters.

Starting in one hour, the US government will open a website for certain businesses to apply for refunds for the tariffs they've paid.
Importers who paid some $166 billion under President Trump's tariffs can apply to get their
money back. This comes after a US Supreme Court decision invalidated some of the tariffs. The government can only refund tariffs to those who actually paid them. That means "shoppers are unlikely to qualify." Millions of Americans wear smart watches or other devices to track everything from exercise
to sleep wearable devices. These devices are $100 billion business in the US, and Piers Allison Arby reports there's
“new guidance from neurologists on the best way to interpret the data.”
People with migraine headaches can use data from a wearable device to look for connections between factors such as sleep and small body temperature changes and a migraine flare. Dr. Sarah Benich with M. Health Fairview in Minnesota and the American Academy of Neurology It's a sharing data with your doctor can be helpful. If one of our patients brings in data from the wearable, it expands how much information
we can look at. She says smart watches can help detect serious conditions, for instance, they can give a notification when someone has irregular heart rhythms, which may put them at increased risk of a stroke or other cardiac events. This helps doctors determine what test or treatment should come next.
