Details@capitalone.com Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. Vice President J.D. vance and a U.S. delegation are on their way back to the United States after peace talks with Iran broke down in Pakistan last night. Speaking reporters in Islamabad, vance said the U.S. laid out its terms, but there's still no agreement.

We've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That's the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on.

Israel's refusal to stop fighting in Lebanon has threatened the Iran ceasefire. Iran threatened strong responses, and President Trump said Israel would reduce its attacks in Lebanon. But attacks continue. Israel's military says this weekend it struck more than 200 Hezbollah targets, and Hezbollah said it continued rocket, drone and artillery attacks on Israel and Israeli troops inside Lebanon. Lebanon says the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors to Washington will hold their first direct meeting Tuesday at the state discuss a ceasefire and a date for starting negotiations. In a speech, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed historic accomplishments in Iran and Lebanon and that his goal in talks are to disarm Hezbollah and reach a peace agreement with Lebanon.

A three judge panel for the U.S. court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2 to 1 to allow construction to proceed through next Friday while the district court further reviews the case. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to stop construction last December. It argued the president lacked the statutory authority to undertake the project. In March, a district court judge granted a preliminary injunction to halt construction, even though the project was greenlit by the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission on Fine Arts. Also, the East Wing had already been demolished. In a statement to npr, National Trust President and CEO Carol Quillen expressed appreciation for the court of Appeals swift actions.

It's NPR. Gas prices are elevated in the U.S. amid the war in Iran, but some drivers are finding relief at tribally owned gas stations in states like California, New Mexico and Washington. Tribes are exempt from certain state taxes, offering lower prices. Nationwide, prices are up more than a dollar a gallon since the conflict began, but some tribal stations are offering savings of 50 cents or more. Industry analysts say gas itself brings in little profit, with many stations relying instead on store sales and, in some cases, casino traffic. Pro golfer Rory McIlroy is still in the lead after three days at the Masters golf tournament, but for now, he's not alone. Steve Futterman reports from Augusta, Georgia.

When round three began, Rory McIlroy appeared to be in great position. He was ahead by six strokes, the largest lead to start the third round in Masters history. When the day was over, McIlroy was still on top, but he is now tied for the lead with American Cameron Young. McIlroy struggled throughout the day. He was one over par for the round. Meanwhile, Young, who began the day eight strokes behind, had a round of seven under. In third place, one stroke behind McIlroy and Young, is Sam Burns. And lurking just four strokes back, is the world's number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy, the defending champion, is trying to make history as he attempts to become just the fourth golfer to win back to back Masters. For NPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Augusta, Georgia.
