Chapter 1: What is the latest update on U.S.-Iran negotiations?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly. It remains unclear if the U.S. and Iran can agree to a deal to end the war before a two-week ceasefire expires next week. Speaking to reporters yesterday at the White House, President Trump said he remains optimistic a deal will get done.
We've got to have no nuclear weapons. If we do, that's a big factor. And they're willing to do things today that they weren't willing to do two months ago.
It's also unclear if officials from the U.S. and Iran will meet again for another round of negotiations before the ceasefire expires. Pakistan has offered to host more discussions as it did last week. This comes amid a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon announced by Trump. It went into effect last night.

Stop the terror, the Jewish terror.
She says things are getting worse and it's not just the settlers.
It is a thing of the government that tells the settlers, that gives them money, that gives them cars, that gives them guns.
