                  Trump says he doesn’t like Iran’s response to peace plan.

                 to the US’ proposal to end the war. Just hours later, Trump said in a short post on Truth Social that it was “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Per CNBC, Iran demanded an end to sanctions, total control of the Strait of Hormuz, war reparations, and the release of frozen assets. In a post on X translated by Grok, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said, “We will never bow our heads before the enemy, and if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat.”

The effort includes citizens of Spain, France, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United States. According to the CDC, 17 Americans are expected to arrive at the National Quarantine Unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center today for initial evaluation. Late last night, US health officials said one American passenger evacuated from the ship developed mild symptoms, and another tested positive for the virus but was asymptomatic.

                 It might be the biggest battery news since pitchers and catchers reported to spring training. Last week, Energizer started selling a

                 Per the National Capital Poison Center, every year, more than 3,500 people in the US swallow coin or button batteries—the ones used to power things like watches and that 30-year-old laser pointer you just can’t part with yet.

                 When swallowed, the batteries can burn the digestive tract, often leading to injury or death, and children are susceptible to accidental ingestion. So, the Pink Bunny’s new “Ultimate Child Shield” battery is made with a proprietary titanium alloy that can prevent burning, according to the company. It also tastes bitter to discourage ingestion, and turns mouths blue, to alert caregivers.—
