(Reuters) - Significant differences between Iran and the United States remain to reach a deal aimed at ending the war, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Friday, adding that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is "conditional on U.S. adherence to the terms of ceasefire". The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said "no agreement has been reached on the details of the nuclear issues," and serious negotiations are required to overcome differences. He said Tehran hoped that a preliminary agreement could be reached in the coming days with mediator Pakistan’s efforts, with the possibility of extending the ceasefire to "create space for more talks on lifting sanctions on Iran and securing compensation for war damages". "In exchange, Iran will provide assurances to the international community about the peaceful nature of its nuclear programme," he said, adding that any other "narrative about the ongoing talks is a misrepresentation of the situation".

BREAKING: DHS confirms that the suspect arrested for attempting to rape a woman while she was waiting for a rideshare in Arlington County, VA is a Guatemalan illegal alien who entered the US as a gotaway & has at least 25 prior charges in the county going back to 2020. Police in Arlington County arrested 28-year-old Luzvin Orvando Garcia Moran for the attempted rape after they say he approached the woman early Sunday morning while she was waiting to be picked up, then shoved her against a wall where he physically and sexually assaulted her until two good Samaritans intervened. DHS says his prior charges in Arlington County include nine counts of being intoxicated in public, assault and battery, disorderly conduct, attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer, and several probation violations. DHS statement: “Virginia's sanctuary policies allowed this illegal alien to go on a crime spree,” said Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Despite prior arrests by law enforcement, this criminal was released from jail multiple times before he went on to commit this attempted heinous rape. We are calling on Arlington County sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing this criminal from jail back into our communities. How many more times must they release criminals into our neighborhoods to create more innocent victims?”
