Chapter 1: What are the latest developments in U.S.-Iran relations?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. President Trump is threatening to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, one of the several key sticking points in failed peace talks with Iran. Negotiations in Islamabad broke down overnight with disputes over nuclear ambitions, sanctions, and control of the critical oil route. Betsy Joles reports Vice President J.D. Vance and a U.S.
delegation are on their way back to Washington.
In a statement, Pakistan's foreign ministry said it would continue facilitating dialogue between the two sides. It has been doing this for weeks and was credited by both sides with helping make the ceasefire happen. The foreign ministry said that several rounds of negotiations took place between Iran and the U.S., and that they ended this morning, Islamabad time.
Chapter 2: How is Congress responding to President Trump's war powers?
It said its army chief, Asim Munir, who President Trump has called his, quote, favorite field marshal, was part of them. The fate of the ceasefire and prospects for longer-term peace remain uncertain. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said on X that the success of the diplomatic process depends on seriousness and good faith from the American side. For NPR News, I'm Betsy Joles in Islamabad.
A vote is expected in the Senate this week on a resolution to limit President Trump's war powers over Iran. NPR's Eric McDaniel reports lawmakers want Congress to reassert authority over military action.
Democrats in Congress are going to force votes attempting to constrain the president on this war. The Constitution, of course, gives Congress the power to declare war, although it hasn't worked that way in practice in quite a while. Those votes are expected to fail, as have all of their past go rounds at this.
But the president's post about ending Iranian civilization before announcing that ceasefire last week.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of rising gas prices during the Iran conflict?
That's NPR's Eric McDaniel reporting. A number of Senate Republicans have said the war in Iran faces a time limit without congressional approval. As gas prices have taken a historic leap during the war in Iran, some U.S. drivers are finding relief at an unusual place. NPR's Amy Held reports they're filling up on tribal lands. Gas is ridiculous.
Janelle Lewis of Snohomish County, Washington, has been spending about $150 to fill up her Suburban. Now she's driving it 25 minutes out of her way to the Tulalip Reservation. There, gas is about 10 percent cheaper. It's worth it to fill up once a week.
Chapter 4: Who is the new head coach of Union Berlin and why is it significant?
The U.S. has dozens of tribally owned gas stations, by and large exempt from paying state fuel taxes. Savings they can pass on. The gas stations also provide revenue for reservations to reinvest in their communities. concentrated in western states where the priciest gas in the U.S. is found. For Lewis, finding it at $4.85 a gallon on the reservation has been a boon.
That'll get me through the week. Amy Held, NPR News.

Chapter 5: What are the ticket prices for the 2028 Summer Olympics and why are they controversial?
The German football team Union Berlin have named Mary-Louise Etta as their new head coach until the end of the season. It's the first time a woman has been appointed to manage a men's team in the Bundesliga, one of Europe's top five leagues. The BBC's Elektra Naismith has more.
An accomplished former player, Marie-Louise Etter is no stranger to breaking barriers. She became the Bundesliga's first female assistant coach just over two years ago. And she was the first woman to lead a Bundesliga side from the touchline, deputising for their manager during a 1-0 win over Darmstadt. But while men frequently manage women's sides, this is a much rarer prospect.
The club says Etta hasn't been chosen to make a point, but because she's the natural choice. She'll certainly have her work cut out, owning on of one only twice in their 14 Bundesliga games this year.
