Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
Iran is detailing a proposed agreement to temporarily reopen the state of Hormuz.
“NPR's Hidel Al-Shachi reports Tehran has blockaded the key waterway for six months, causing”
major disruptions to global oil supplies. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Cosm, Otibobadi, said that the proposed framework to temporarily reopen the state of Hormuz did not mean that the waterway would immediately open. In an interview published on Iranian state media, he called the straight a matter of Iran's
national security and said that "fundamental changes must be made in the entry and exit routes." Otibobadi said that in the proposed agreement, vessels would enter through Iranian waters and exit through Omani waters. He called it a "round trip highway."
He said that this route would be temporary and that Iran and Oman will negotiate a more permanent route within 30 to 60 days. The White House is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000
“people who've applied for asylum in the US.”
Immigration attorneys are questioning how much practical effect the policy would have on people with pending asylum cases. State Department spokesman Tommy Piggid explains the administration's reasoning. If someone's applying for a tourist or business visa, that itself is temporary by its nature, it's given under the expectation and the clear expectation that someone returns
home. So if the company United States and present something different apply for a permanent status, that indicates a misrepresentation to the cost or officer that was made, and therefore it could be grounds for looking at that and saying it's a revocation appropriate of that visa.
Piggid says the administration believes many asylum cases are frivolous and wants a system that more carefully reviews those cases while making sure visas, match and applicants circumstances. Two people in Pennsylvania have died after contracting measles, both were unvaccinated. The co-letter of member station, W.H.Y. reports, lawmakers, are partly blaming the Trump
administration for the growing number of outbreaks in the state. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro says US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a known vaccine critic offered additional federal support in the state's measles response. The Piro took the opportunity to review Kennedy and others in the Trump administration
for weakening public trust and vaccines. Sharing conspiracy theories and misinformation does not help the cause of public health, and it leaves people less healthy and less safe, and it leaves parents in a position where it's harder for us to do our jobs to protect our children. The state is working to administer more doses of the measles months in Rubella vaccine,
especially as kids return to school this fall. For MPR News, I'm Nicole Leonard in Philadelphia. This is NPR News in Washington. The trade fight between the US and Canada is escalating with both countries imposing steep new tariffs.
Canada is retaliating against new 50% US tariffs with duties on about 20 billion dollars worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, and farm equipment, despite the growing tensions and alasay the long time allies still have room to reach a deal before the dispute widens further. As the world remembers Dolly Parton, one of the projects she left behind is a Broadway
musical about her life. The country's music legend died Tuesday at the age of 80. Preview performances are still scheduled to begin in December. At London reports, it's not the first time Parton's music has made its way to Broadway. Back in 2009, Parton made her Broadway debut as a composer with a stage version of the
film 9-5.
And I jumped at the chance, as I've never done a musical.
I don't know that much about Broadway, but I'll give it a try. The show had a short run, but Parton got nominated for a Tony Award for Best Score. She penned some new songs for Dolly A True Original Musical, which features many of her hits. He tried out a Nashville last summer and is set to open on January 19th, 2027 on what would
have been Parton's 81st birthday. For NPR News, I'm Jeff London in New York. I'm Windsor-Johnston, NPR News, in Washington. Fall is right around the corner. That means the midterms.
