Iran says a deal to reopen the state of Hormuz as close, even as Tehran adds new demands
for the United States.
“The conditions include lifting sanctions with trawling U.S. forces from the region and”
releasing frozen Iranian assets, and PR's Frank Lankford reports from Tel Aviv. "Mohamed Boggers Old God," Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said the straight won't reopen until the U.S. quote "corrects its behavior," according to Iranian state media. Iran's demands include the U.S. ending the war and "aggression" against Iran's allies
in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq. Iran also insisted the U.S. provide full compensation for damage from past attacks on the country. The demands appeared to dampen hopes that the straight was about to reopen, President Trump initially predicted the war would last four to five weeks, it's now approaching six months.
The wars increased gas and other consumer prices, which Trump had pledged to bring down. The midterms are three months away. NPR reached out to the White House for comment on Iran's conditions, but has yet to hear back. Frank Lankford NPR News, Tel Aviv.
“"To helicopter pilots have died, fighting a massive wildfire in central Utah.”
Caroline Ballard from member station, KUER reports the blaze is about 24 percent contained."
The Friday morning crash ignited a fire around the craft, which made it unsafe to get close to the site. On Saturday, search and rescue crews were able to access the area and confirm the two deaths. The heavy-lived helicopter was one of seven assigned to the massive wide-mouthed two fire. So far, it's burned more than 110,000 acres in central Utah, about three hours south of Salt Lake
City. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. Intense and at times unpredictable fire conditions have fueled a deadly summer. For NPR News, I'm Caroline Ballard. Trading on Wall Street this week will likely be dominated by the latest report on inflation,
NPR's Rafael NOM says the updated figures come at a time of uncertainty for the economy.
A big question is whether we'll see inflation pick up again after a fairly benign report for June.
“The Federal Reserve last month kept interest rate steady, but it was a divided vote.”
With some policy makers believing the central bank should reference them. But a rate hike is still very much on the table. A lot will depend on what happens with inflation. We may not be an easy call, though. A report less week showed significant weakness in the labor market, and that could make
some policy makers hesitant to raise rates at a time of weak employment. The Fed has some time, though. Its next policy meeting is not until September, or from NOM in PR News.

NPR's Rob Stein has more. The researchers studied more than 1100 patients who were hospitalized for COVID at 20 hospitals around the country. In a paper published in the journal Nature, the team led by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin found that infection with the coronavirus that causes COVID can apparently
reactivate other viruses that had been dormant in their bodies. That includes a family of common viruses that may be associated with long COVID. The researchers hope the advance will lead to new ways to treat long COVID, which affects millions of Americans. Rob Stein and Pyrnese.
British Columbia has declared a state of emergency as more than 100 wildfires burn across the province about half of them out of control. Emergency Management Minister Kelly Green says roughly 20,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. We are facing an intense and harrowing situation in the summerland area, and it is so difficult
to be evacuated and not know when you will be able to return, not know what you'll be returning to, whether your home and your community will still be there. Officials are urging residents to abide by evacuation orders. Kelly say they're investigating one death while officials say some residents remain trapped behind fire lines.
