President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s recent proposal to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, believing the United States has more to gain by continuing pressure on Iran. Iran’s plan included lifting sanctions and reopening shipping lanes, but the two countries remain far apart on the terms of a deal.
Key Facts
President Trump rejected Iran’s offer to end the war and resume shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s proposal asked the US to lift naval blockades, remove sanctions on Iranian oil, release $12 billion in frozen assets, and agree to a regional ceasefire.
Qatar has been helping mediate talks between the US and Iran during the United Nations General Assembly meeting.
The previous agreement from June collapsed over disagreements and was followed by increased attacks near the Strait of Hormuz.
Experts say Trump believes Iran is weakening due to economic pressure and that waiting could lead to better negotiation terms.
The US has increased sanctions and tightened naval blockades to hurt Iran’s economy.
Some analysts compare this situation to the lead-up to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, when economic pressure pushed Iran to make concessions.
Waiting for a better deal also carries risks, as Iran may respond with its own actions.

Russia has delivered upgraded versions of its Su-57 fighter jet, which is designed to be stealthy and advanced. The jets have some new technical features, but details about their exact improvements and quantity were not shared by Russian officials.
Key Facts
Russia’s state-owned United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) gave a batch of updated Su-57 jets to the Russian air force.
The Defense Ministry confirmed receipt but did not say how many jets were delivered or detail the upgrades.
The Su-57 is Russia’s most advanced stealth fighter, meant to compete with U.S. jets like the F-35 and F-22.
Russian officials talk about adding a “second cockpit” to control drones working with the jet.
The upgrades aim to include future “sixth-generation” fighter jet technologies, involving more unmanned drone support.
Experts doubt that these upgrades will make Russia competitive with U.S. and Chinese advanced fighter jet programs.
The Su-57 has been used in the Ukraine war but in limited numbers and with mixed performance reports.
Production of the Su-57 has been slow, partly due to the demands of the ongoing war with Ukraine.

Surrogacy has gained attention recently due to public stories about famous people and a legal case involving a surrogate named McKenna West. Four surrogates in the US shared their experiences, explaining the careful screening and contracts involved, and how they view their role in helping families.
Key Facts
Lena Dunham used a surrogate to start her family, drawing public attention to surrogacy.
McKenna West, a surrogate in a legal dispute, refused to have an abortion requested by the child’s biological parents and fled to Texas, where abortion is banned.

Surrogates emphasize the importance of personal choice and bodily autonomy in their decisions.

Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman is leading in recent polls and prediction markets against Mayor Karen Bass in the upcoming November runoff election. Raman’s campaign focuses on housing affordability and tenant protections, reflecting a political approach similar to New York’s Zohran Mamdani, who won by appealing to younger, middle-class renters concerned about the cost of living.
Key Facts
Nithya Raman currently leads Mayor Karen Bass in a UC Berkeley and Los Angeles Times poll with 39% versus 28%, but 33% of voters are still undecided.
Prediction markets estimate Raman has about a 57-58% chance to win the November 3 runoff.
Raman’s platform emphasizes more housing, stronger renter protections, and improved city services.
She is a member of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which recently endorsed her campaign.
Zohran Mamdani won New York City Council on similar themes, including affordable living and cross-demographic coalitions.
Los Angeles is a diverse city with a 36% homeownership rate and high renting population (about two-thirds of residents rent).
Experts say large, expensive cities like Los Angeles and New York reward candidates who build coalitions across racial and economic groups.
It remains uncertain whether Raman’s coalition-building approach will have the same success in governing after the election.

Swiss voters rejected a proposal to set stricter rules on the country’s neutrality in a referendum. About 71 percent voted against the change, allowing Switzerland to keep its current freedom to cooperate with NATO and impose sanctions.
Key Facts
Around 71% of Swiss voters opposed a stricter neutrality rule in a recent referendum.
The proposal aimed to make Swiss neutrality "perpetual and armed" and limit cooperation with military alliances like NATO.
It would have allowed sanctions only with United Nations approval and banned most military cooperation unless Switzerland was attacked or threatened.
The initiative was backed by the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) and a group called Pro Switzerland.
The Swiss government, parliament, and most major parties opposed the proposal.
Switzerland has been neutral since 1815 and includes neutrality in its constitution since 1848.
Switzerland applied EU sanctions against Russia after its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which sparked debate about its neutrality.
The vote focused on how much flexibility the Swiss government should have in responding to international security challenges.
