Chapter 1: What recent developments are there in U.S.-Iran relations?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly. President Trump says Iran is promising to allow 20 oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as indirect talks between the two countries to end the war continue. At the same time, NPR's Emily Fang says Iran appears to be making more demands of the Trump administration after pushing back on the president's 15-point proposal for ending U.S.
and Israeli airstrikes.
A hardline Iranian newspaper that is funded by the office of Iran's supreme leader published nine more demands in order to end the war. And among those are dismantling military bases the U.S. uses in the Middle East.
That's NPR's Emily Fang reporting. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says church leaders will be able to pray in Christianity's holiest site in Jerusalem during the Easter Holy Week. Police blocked the Catholic Church's highest representative in Israel from holding a private prayer service on Palm Sunday, sparking widespread criticism, as NPR's Carrie Kahn reports.
World leaders, including Italy and France's prime ministers, condemned the police action in Jerusalem. Officials there Sunday stopped Cardinal Pier Bautista Pizzabala and another leader from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where many Christians believe Jesus died and was resurrected.
Lifelong Jerusalem resident and Armenian Christian Kigambalyan tried to get close to the church but was stopped by a locked gate. He says the closing at the start of the holiest week in Christianity is a tragedy.
It's a grave injustice and an insult to the concept of the freedom of religion in this country.
On social media, Prime Minister Netanyahu says he told authorities to let the cardinal, quote, hold services as he wishes. Carrie Khan, NPR News, Jerusalem.
TSA agents at airports across the U.S. are expected to receive their first paychecks in more than a month this week. Still, as NPR's Windsor Johnston reports, it could take a while before airline passengers stop seeing long lines to get through security.
