Trump’s Call for Iran Inspections: Echoing Obama’s Abandoned Deal

Following recent military actions, President Trump stated that Iran must allow international inspections to verify its nuclear program, and that the United States is open to talks next week. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi has indicated that the possibility of new negotiations is complicated by the recent American attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, which caused “serious damage”. The U.S. and Israel have both claimed to have severely damaged Iran’s nuclear capabilities, though the extent of the damage and the future of inspections remains uncertain. Iran has yet to decide whether to allow IAEA inspectors to assess the damage.

FDA Spending Freeze Risks Food Safety, Staff Warn

The FDA’s food safety program, already underfunded, faces worsening conditions due to recent budget cuts. These cuts, some initiated under the previous administration, reduce critical rapid response teams and compromise the agency’s ability to conduct necessary inspections and remove unsafe products from the market. Experts warn that this underfunding, primarily due to insufficient congressional appropriations compared to the agency’s drug division, will lead to increased outbreaks and recalls, leaving consumers vulnerable. Consequently, current FDA employees are voicing concerns about the agency’s diminished capacity to ensure food safety.
