What were the outcomes of the recent U.S.-Iran talks?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Roan. Talks between U.S. and Iranian officials have wrapped up in Oman with no conclusive outcome. Iran's foreign minister described the talks as a good start and said both sides agreed to resume negotiations at a later date. The talks come as the U.S. has built up an enormous military force in the region. NPR's international affairs correspondent Jackie Northam has more on what the U.S. is seeking in these talks.
Trump had been threatening military action over Iran's brutal suppression of widespread protests, but it seems those didn't come up in today's discussions. Trump has said he wants Iran to make concessions on its nuclear program and its support for armed proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah. And he wants a limit on Iran's ballistic missiles. And these are the ones that were fired at Israel and U.S. targets last summer.
A Venezuelan family from Oregon has been released from federal custody following several weeks of detention. Alex Kogan reports state leaders traveled to Texas following public outcry over the case.
When the Crespo-Gonzalez family parked in the Adventist Health Care Center lot in Portland, Oregon in January... immigration agents approached. The father pleaded to let the mom and seven-year-old go get care for a concerning bloody nose. But instead, agents detained all three and took them to the Dilley Detention Center south of San Antonio. They remained there for more than 20 days. Oregon Congresswoman Maxine Dexter escorted the family home Friday. In a statement, Dexter did not specify how or why the family, all asylum seekers, were permitted release from detention. The agency did not respond to questions about the family's case. For NPR News, I'm Alex Olgin in Portland, Oregon.
In all of 2025, there were only seven confirmed cases of measles in Florida. Last month alone, there were more than double that number, according to the state health department. But as Gabrielle Vasquez-Naira of member station WUFT reports, state health data is lagging behind.
Journalists are now independently verifying confirmed measles cases with health clinics and immunologists to get more accurate numbers. Local outlets estimate that the number of confirmed cases has risen to 33. Now, the University of Florida says the Department of Health is conducting contact tracing for two measles cases on its campus. The most severe outbreak is in southwest Florida, where the local NBC affiliate reported 20 confirmed cases. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the best way to prevent measles is to get vaccinated. Health officials say people who do develop measles symptoms should isolate and contact a health care provider before seeking in-person treatment. For NPR News, I'm Gabriel Velasquez-Neira in Gainesville.
Wall Street closed higher Friday, with the Dow Jones finishing above 50,000 for the first time in history. The Nasdaq and the S&P also posted gains. This is NPR. TikTok is violating a European Union law because it's so addictive. This is according to an official investigation. NPR's John Rewich reports it may mean TikTok will have to make some changes or face a fine.
The European Commission, which is the executive arm of the EU, says features like TikTok's infinite scroll, autoplay and push notifications are in breach of the EU's Digital Services Act. It says those and other design features, quote, fuel the urge to keep scrolling and shift the brain of users into autopilot mode. That may lead to compulsive behavior and could harm the physical and mental well-being of its users, including minors. It says TikTok disregarded important indicators of compulsive use and failed to implement reasonable, proportionate, and effective measures to mitigate risks. TikTok says in a statement the findings are false and misleading, and it'll challenge them. John Ruich, NPR News.
