“Totally unacceptable”: Trump rejects Iran’s latest negotiation offer

This episode of Apple News Today covers a volatile geopolitical moment as President Trump rejects Iran's latest peace proposal, calling it 'completely unacceptable' and deepening regional uncertainty. The rejection has triggered a spike in oil and gas prices, with the national average reaching $4.55 per gallon—the highest since 2022—and sparking renewed political debate over a potential federal gas tax suspension. Meanwhile, Democrats face a major setback in redistricting after Virginia’s Supreme Court struck down a Democratic-drawn map, dealing a blow to their midterm strategy. Republican momentum is bolstered by Trump’s influence in southern states, where gerrymandering efforts are gaining traction amid weakened Voting Rights Act protections. On the domestic front, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launches a high-profile campaign to reduce America’s reliance on antidepressants, advocating for non-pharmaceutical alternatives and new reimbursement models for doctors. His speech, while praised by some for addressing dependency concerns, draws criticism for controversial claims—such as equating antidepressant withdrawal to heroin addiction—raising alarms among medical professionals about access to mental health care. Other stories include the repatriation of Americans from a cruise ship with a Hantavirus outbreak, the recovery of a U.S. soldier’s remains in Morocco, and the surging popularity of a World Cup match in Miami, which has become the hottest sporting ticket of the year.
