Iran Talks Ongoing And Could Continue Through The Night, U.S. Official SaysThe United States’ talks with Iran are ongoing amid new threats that President Donald Trump issued against the country on Sunday, according to a U.S. official. The delegation anticipates continuing through the night, the official said. Issues that participants have touched on so far include Iran’s messaging on the Strait of Hormuz, the reopening of the waterway and the enforcement of a ceasefire in southern Lebanon, per a senior U.S. diplomat engaged in the negotiations. The diplomat added that the Iranian delegation remained engaged in the talks despite reports signaling tension between the two parties. Earlier, Iranian state media reported that the delegation had walked out of the negotiating site following Trump’s statements.Latest Live UpdatesTrump: Work To Start ‘Immediately’ On More Fixes To The Reflecting PoolIn a Sunday Truth Social post, President Donald Trump said that work will start “immediately” on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has experienced algae and peeling paint following his recent renovations.He again blamed the pool’s woes on vandalism, without offering any evidence for his claims. “Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool,” he wrote. “I just inspected it, and could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing?”After spending $14 million to make over the Reflecting Pool, Trump said Saturday that it’s likely the landmark will need to be drained again to complete more fixes.‘So Many Concessions’: Obama National Security Adviser Slams Iran AgreementFormer national security adviser Susan Rice on Sunday panned the “many concessions” included in a preliminary agreement that the Trump administration has negotiated with Iran."It's egregious, Jon, because so many concessions were granted up front in this flimsy, two-page memorandum of understanding that wouldn't normally and shouldn't have been granted until after there was not only a fully comprehensive deal to at least deal with their nuclear program, but also that those provisions that were negotiated had been agreed," Rice said during an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week.”Rice previously served as national security adviser during President Barack Obama’s administration when the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was negotiated and signed. She also noted that the new memorandum of understanding allowed Iran to get relief from oil sanctions and access to frozen assets with far fewer constraints than the Obama administration’s prior agreement.“I opposed this war because it was a stupid war,” Rice said. “... I obviously think we shouldn’t have been in this war in the first place because it was obvious for decades that the only way to resolve this problem is through diplomacy.” Trump Calls For Military Intervention In Chicago After 7 Killed In Weekend ShootingsA spate of shootings in Chicago has led to at least seven deaths and 38 injuries since Friday evening, police say, prompting President Donald Trump to renew his call for a military intervention in the nation’s third-largest city.The office of Illinois Gov.

We do not take American threats into account."Trump Threatens Iran With Attacks If They Don't Stop Bombing IsraelPresident Donald Trump threatened Iran on Sunday if they don't stop "causing trouble.""Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble," Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social.
