The U.S. Proposed New Terms in Nuclear Talks With Iran
President Trump's envoy to the Middle East crafted the outline of a potential nuclear arrangement with Iran that was handed over to officials in Tehran over the weekend. Under the terms of the proposal, Iran would continue to enrich uranium at low levels while the U.S. and other countries work out a more detailed plan to block Iran's path to a nuclear weapon. The proposal amounts to a bridge between the current situation, in which Iran is rapidly producing near-bomb-grade uranium, and the U.S. goal of Iran enriching no uranium at all on its soil. It is the first concrete indication since Trump took office that the U.S. and Iran might be able to find a compromise. Officials in Tehran indicated that a response would come in several days. A breakthrough would be an unexpected twist in the president's diplomatic approach: After pulling out of the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, he ordered the killing of Iran's highest-ranking generals. Iran, in return, has been accused of hiring assassins to kill Trump during his 2024 campaign. However, some details of a potential future deal remain vague, and the two sides are far apart on many issues. Just yesterday, Trump said he would 'not allow any enrichment of uranium' in Iran. In other Trump administration news: Elon Musk attacked Trump's domestic policy bill, calling it a 'disgusting abomination.'

Wednesday Briefing: Staggering Casualties in Ukraine
Troop casualties in Ukraine near 1.4 million, a study found Nearly 1 million Russian troops have been killed or wounded in the war in Ukraine, according to a study released yesterday. Roughly 400,000 Ukrainian troops were also estimated to have been killed or wounded, bringing the total casualties of the three-year conflict to a staggering 1.4 million. The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a U.S.-based think tank that compiled the study, cautioned that casualty figures were difficult to estimate. But the tally still presents an accounting of the grinding conflict. Russia's territorial gains have been slower than even the bogged-down and costly Somme advance of British and French troops in World War I, the study said. Since January 2024, Russia has seized less than 1 percent of Ukrainian territory. On the battlefield: Kyiv said its troops struck the Crimean bridge yesterday for the third time. Over the weekend, remotely operated Ukrainian drones emerged from hiding inside Russia and began attacking airfields. These videos show what happened. The U.S. proposed new terms in nuclear talks with Iran President Trump's envoy to the Middle East crafted a potential nuclear arrangement with Iran that was handed over to Tehran last weekend. Under the terms of the proposal, Iran would continue to enrich uranium at low levels, suitable for nuclear power plants but not for bombs, while the U.S. and other countries work out a more detailed plan to eventually block Iran's path to a nuclear weapon.
