President Donald Trump on Wednesday said talks on the Iran crisis would be held behind closed doors, and that "only one group of meaningful 'POINTS' were acceptable to the United States, but gave no other details about the negotiations. "These are the POINTS that are the basis on which we agreed to a CEASEFIRE. It is something that is reasonable, and can easily be dispensed with," he said in a social media post. White House says VP JD Vance will lead a U.S. negotiating team in Islamabad for talks aimed at finding a permanent end to the Iran war. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif earlier on Wednesday said U.S. and Iranian delegations would be arriving in Pakistan on Friday after the two nations accepted a two-week ceasefire. Trump in his online post also threatened a federal probe into unnamed individuals he accused--without providing evidence--of circulating various correspondence that he said were not the basis for the ceasefire agreement.

Authorities in the Bahamas are searching for a U.S. woman who is missing at sea after her husband reported that she fell overboard. Police told The Associated Press Wednesday that the search continues for the woman, whom they declined to identify. Bahamian police have said the couple was traveling from Hope Town to Elbow Cay on Saturday night, and that the woman’s husband told authorities that she fell overboard with the boat keys, causing the engine to turn off. NBC News quoted a woman identified as Karli Aylesworth who said her mother, Lynette Hooker, is missing in the Bahamas, and that it was unlikely she would “just fall” off the dinghy.

A Long Island architect has pleaded guilty to murdering seven women and admitted he killed an eighth in a string of long-unsolved crimes known as the Gilgo Beach killings. Rex Heuermann entered the pleas on Wednesday in a courtroom packed with reporters, police and victims’ relatives. His decision brings finality to a case that bedeviled investigators, tantalized the public and spawned true-crime documentaries, podcasts and a Hollywood movie. Authorities say Heuermann killed the women over a 17-year span. Many of them were sex workers whose deaths received little attention until their remains were found buried together along an isolated beach highway. Heuermann faces life in prison and will be sentenced at a later date.

President Trump says the U.S. will work with Iran to “dig up and remove” its enriched uranium. On the heels of the ceasefire agreement, the president said “there will be no enrichment of uranium” by Iran. He wrote online that the U.S. would remove any “nuclear dust” from the bomb sites of last summer’s military strikes. Retrieving the material could be very difficult and it remains to be seen what the United States would do with any enriched uranium that is removed. The president also said his administration will be discussing “tariff and sanctions relief with Iran.”

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is expected to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House to try to smooth over the president’s anger with the military alliance over the Iran war. Trump had suggested the U.S. may consider leaving the trans-Atlantic alliance after NATO member countries ignored his call to help reopen a vital shipping waterway that Iran effectively shut, sending gas prices soaring. The Republican president had a warm relationship with Rutte. Their meeting Wednesday comes as the U.S. and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire that includes reopening the waterway, the Strait of Hormuz. Rutte met earlier Wednesday with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Trump added that discussions are ongoing with Iran regarding tariffs and sanctions relief, and that many of the 15 points in the agreement have already been met. In a second post, the president warned that any country supplying military weapons to Iran will face immediate tariffs of 50 percent on all goods sold to the United States, with no exceptions.

House Democrats are urging congressional leaders to bring lawmakers back into session immediately and hold a vote to end the U.S. conflict with Iran. Democratic leaders say the vote is needed to halt what they describe as a “reckless war of choice” following recent escalation and rhetoric from the White House. Their call comes amid heightened concern from Democratic lawmakers about President Trump’s threats toward Iran and the broader military campaign, with some urging Congress to use its constitutional authority to stop further military action. The House is currently in recess, and Democratic leaders have said they want a clear vote on ending U.S. involvement as soon as possible.

By: Dianté Marigny A two-week ceasefire has been reached between the United States, Iran, and Israel, with talks scheduled to begin Friday in Islamabad. President Donald Trump called the agreement “a big day for world peace,” noting that Iran “wants it to happen” and that the United States will help keep traffic moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the suspension of U.S. strikes on Iran would last for two weeks, following requests from Pakistani leaders, and pointed to a 10-point proposal from Iran as a workable basis for negotiations. While Israel is supporting the temporary pause in U.S. and Iranian hostilities, the country has confirmed it will continue military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. This signals ongoing regional tensions even as the Iran conflict is temporarily halted.
