US Demands Iran Cut Uranium Enrichment for War's End

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance told Reuters that ending the conflict with Iran requires concrete steps to reduce uranium enrichment, not just promises. Washington seeks tangible proof of Iran's commitment to not developing nuclear weapons. The U.S. has received proposals from Iran to end hostilities and resume shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, but President Trump rejected the latest offer. Vance also noted uncertainty about Iranian decision-making processes and expressed confidence in U.S. ammunition supplies.

Namibian Doctor Recognizes ZAKA Volunteer, Cancels Autopsy for Israeli Traveler

The doctor agreed to release the Israeli's body for burial in Israel without an autopsy due to their prior acquaintance and ZAKA's work respecting the dead.
