Chapter 1: What is President Trump's assessment of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire situation?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump is pessimistic about the fate of the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. His assessment comes after he received Iran's response to his proposal. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben has more.
Trump is not putting a positive spin on where things are.
I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living.
He did not elaborate on what might end that ceasefire or what would come next. He said he didn't even finish reading Iran's latest response to a U.S. ceasefire proposal, calling it a, quote, piece of garbage. Trump has expressed disappointment with the negotiation process before and threatened military action, but has so far not followed through on those threats.

Iranian state media say Tehran's demands include an end to the blockade, reparations and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's chokehold over the strait is fueling high gas prices, the president said Monday. He would suspend the federal tax on gasoline to ease the burden on Americans, but he would need congressional approval.
A widely used abortion pill will remain on hold for a few more days after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito pushed out his deadline to make a decision. NPR's Selena Simmons-Duffin reports that means mifepristone remains available via telemedicine for now.
The case comes from the state of Louisiana. It argued that the Food and Drug Administration allowing telemedicine access to Mifepristone undermines its abortion ban. Earlier this month, a panel of federal appeals court judges agreed with the state and ended telemedicine access.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito paused that decision for one week and has now extended that pause for three more days. That means patients can continue to receive Mifepristone by mail at least until Thursday and at which point the Supreme Court is likely to make a longer-term decision. Telemedicine now accounts for one-quarter of all abortions nationally.
