On Tuesday, Donald Trump announced a unilateral extension of the ceasefire with Iran, aiming to foster negotiations for peace. This move comes amid Trump's aggressive rhetoric and expectations of military action. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf criticized the extension as a tactic to delay potential conflict, indicating divisions within Iran on how to respond to US pressure. In a separate political development, Virginia voters approved new congressional maps designed to enhance Democratic representation ahead of the midterm elections. Additionally, the Trump administration is exploring resettlement options for 1,100 Afghans who assisted US forces during the Afghanistan war, potentially relocating them to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A recent report highlighted that nearly 46% of children in the US are exposed to harmful air pollution levels, raising concerns about environmental policies under Trump's administration.
