Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. President Trump says Iran has sent messages. It wants to de-escalate the conflict with Israel, but the Israeli ambassador to the UN calls Iran a, quote, master of deception. Here's NPR's Michelle Kahneman.

Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny DanNone, doesn't see any room for

dialogue at the moment. He says Israel has, in his words, push back Iran's nuclear program in recent

to what we did in the 80s in Iraq when we had to attack one reactor or in 2005 when we took care of the reactor in Syria.

It's a much more challenging operation and it takes time.

This deal is expected to be approved by a U.S. bankruptcy court and would add to more than $50 billion in opioid settlements

already agreed to by corporations that made and sold addictive opioid pain medications.
