What recent developments have occurred in Iran's nuclear program?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Roman. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says he does not believe the current war in Iran can entirely eliminate that nation's nuclear program. NPR's Jeff Bromfield has more. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi says Iran's nuclear program has been heavily damaged by repeated strikes.
But speaking to reporters in Washington, D.C., he said he expects it will survive the current conflict in some form. That's because the program isn't just located at Iran's main nuclear sites, he says. It's also scattered across universities, laboratories, and industrial facilities throughout the country.
When the current war ends, he predicts... We will still have a number of issues that will require... a solution. Grossi says his agency is ready to aid negotiations and it's ready to restart nuclear inspections when the fighting stops. Jeff Brumfield, NPR News.
Reactions are pouring in from around Central California to a New York Times investigation into allegations that labor and civil rights leader Cesar Chavez sexually assaulted young girls in the 1970s as well as a former civil rights icon, Dolores Herta. From member station KVPR, Carrie Klein has more. Miguel Arias is a Fresno City Council member. He says the reporting shocked him.
It was stomach-turning. It got lightheaded. It's devastating news. Arias is the son of farmworkers and called Huerta the matriarch of the Latino community. He's calling to rename Fresno's Cesar Chavez Boulevard. It's absolutely the right thing to do. Other elected officials expressed support for Dolores Huerta. Some called for Cesar Chavez Day to be renamed Farmworker Day.
And the president of California State University Fresno said a statue of Chavez on campus would be removed. For NPR News, I'm Keri Klein in Fresno. A day after the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena for Attorney General Pam Bondi to appear for a deposition on the department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, Bondi appeared for a closed-door briefing with the committee.
Democrats say they left the briefing because it was hastily arranged and they wanted Bondi under oath with a transcript to be released publicly. The committee chairman, Republican James Comer, says he's never seen anything like this. I've never seen anything.
members storm out of a briefing with the attorney general and the entire leaders of the Department of Justice are there to answer questions, and they don't ask a single question. The Trump administration has faced numerous political headaches since the rollout of the Epstein files in December. The Federal Reserve said Wednesday it's going to keep the key interest rates unchanged.
Chairman Jerome Powell says there is increasing concern about the strength of the U.S. economy because of the war against Iran. You're listening to NPR News.
