Chapter 1: What are President Trump's latest statements on Iran and the ongoing war?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump says Iran is intent on making a deal to end the war, but that they are negotiating on fumes. NPR's Mara Liason reports.
The threat was a familiar one from President Trump. Either Iran, quote, gives us what we want, or we'll finish them off. The president and his party are under pressure to end the war, which has sent gas prices soaring. That's hurt Republican candidates in the midterm elections.
But when the president was asked why he hadn't moved faster to end the war, given the financial pain it's causing Americans, he said this. I don't care about the midterms. The president also laid out another red line for Iran. He says he wants the Strait of Hormuz to be open without any tolls. He said the strait was international waters that no single country should control.

About one in five pregnancies now result in adverse outcomes like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm births. As NPR's Maria Godoy reports, new research in the journal JAMA suggests the risks can be reduced by moving more and sitting less.
As society has become more sedentary, researchers wanted to know how all that sitting affects pregnancy outcomes. So they recruited 500 women to wear activity trackers throughout their pregnancies. They found that people who spent more than 10 hours a day sitting had twice the risk of pregnancy complications compared to those who sat about seven hours a day.
Here's lead study author Bethany Barone-Gibbs of West Virginia University.
It really was that prolonged sitting, so sitting more than an hour at a time. That was more strongly associated with having these complications.
She says even just standing or moving around a bit regularly helped cut the risks. Maria Godoy, NPR News.
