Hi, I'm Xin Yi Pai. Five years ago I sat down in front of a microphone with a simple goal to share stories from the Asian American experience and to do that by talking about everyday objects.

Later on we're going to be speaking to a man who literally unblocked the Strait of Hormuz just a few years ago about how he would go about doing it today. But first, we have three top stories to look at today, the first of which is that Iran says it's continuing to review a 14 point US proposal to end the war and is expected to convey a response to Pakistani mediators later today.
