Trump threatens Oman as Iran deal deadline expires; Hawaii digs out after Lala

The clock runs out on President Trump's 60-day window for a deal with Iran

And now his top envoy says Iran is the one standing in the way

Right now, they're not showing any interest in doing something that makes sense for us

Plus, Luigi Mangioni's state murder trial is now off the calendar. The federal guilty plea his lawyers say should end the state case altogether

And the damage left behind by Lala is staggering. Rivers rage over their banks, washing away homes, roads and bridges

The stories that matter, clear and credible from across the country to around the world

These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow. Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli

This morning, the Trump administration says Iran is not showing any interest in a deal with the United States

The 60-day negotiating window agreed to by the U.S. and Iran expired yesterday with no deal and the two sides still far apart

President Trump's special envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner, one of the administration's top negotiators, says Tehran still is not ready to make a deal

Right now, they're not showing any interest in doing something that makes sense for us

I think if they're going to try to play a trick or do something to hide certain cards and get certain concessions for not

President Trump wants to make a fair deal. That could be a win-win. But that has to be very basic in that they have to want to be a real country

which is no nuclear weapons and no funding terror in the region. Meanwhile, Iran says it has reached an understanding with Oman on a plan for ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz

And the two countries are now working to finalize the details. Reopening the strait has been a key U.S. demand

and Trump is now threatening Oman, a U.S. ally, if it, quote, gets in the way

Trump told Fox News the U.S. would bomb them, though with a bit more colorful language

And there's also a split between Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance

over how they describe the administration's top priority. Vance said last week it was keeping oil and gas prices down for Americans

Trump said yesterday the, quote, Number one goal is and always will be preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon

Look, we're in there for one reason. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon

You understand that? Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't have a nuclear weapon

And right now them building one after what we did previously with the B bombers going to be going to be a long time to have But Iran cannot have it very simple they can have a nuclear weapon Now to a different topic a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration plan to move FBI headquarters to the Ronald Reagan building in Washington D

It is the latest turn in a years-long fight over where to put the bureau's new central location

In 2023, the Biden administration chose Greenbelt, Maryland after a long-running site selection process

But last year, the Trump administration scrapped that plan and chose the Reagan building in downtown Washington instead

President Trump had previously criticized the Greenbelt location, calling Maryland a liberal state

Now a federal judge says the administration did not have the legal authority to make that switch

ruling that Congress had required the government to choose from three specific sites, including Greenbelt

Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown called the ruling a victory for the state and for congressional authority

Quote, it is about ensuring that when Congress makes a decision, the federal government cannot simply ignore it because they do not like the outcome

The FBI is pushing back, saying the judge, quote, impermissibly intervened for political reasons

The administration has not yet said whether it will appeal. To a different case we go. The Justice Department is now trying to revive its human smuggling case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia

And the fight now centers on why prosecutors brought the case in the first place

Abrego Garcia is the Salvadoran man the Trump administration wrongfully deported last year before he was returned to the U.S

Prosecutors later charged him with two human smuggling counts stemming from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee

He has pleaded not guilty. But in May, a federal judge dismissed the case, finding that Abrego Garcia had shown the prosecution was vindictive

Now the Justice Department is asking the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate the charges

In a filing Monday, DOJ argues prosecutors brought the case because the evidence supported it

and says the judge went too far in questioning their motives. Abrego Garcia's lawyers called that argument flat wrong

They say the case was retaliation for his successful fight against his deportation

For now, the charges remain dismissed. His lawyers will respond before the appeals court decides whether to revive the case

In New York, Luigi Mangione's state murder trial will not begin next month after all

And now a judge will decide whether that case can go forward at all

The trial had been set to begin September 8th but the judge has now taken it off the calendar as Manjoni lawyers tried to get the state charges thrown out Their argument Manzoni has already pleaded guilty in federal court

to conduct tied to the same killing, and prosecuting him again would violate New York's

double jeopardy law. Manzoni pleaded guilty Friday to two federal stalking charges

and for the first time admitted in court that he killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson

He told the judge, I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died

I knew what I was doing was illegal. The gunman shot Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel in December of 2024

Surveillance cameras captured the shooting. Manjoni still faces second degree murder and weapons charges in the state case

And Manhattan prosecutors say they will fight to keep that case alive

They now have until October 9th to respond to the defense. The next state court hearing is set for December 10th

eight days before Mangione is sentenced in the federal case, where prosecutors say they will seek life in prison

People in Hawaii are waking up this morning to damage left behind by Hurricane Lala

Homes damaged, roads and bridges washed out, and thousands still without power

The storm never made landfall, but it came close enough to hammer parts of the Big Island

with hurricane-force winds and torrential rain. Wicked winds and high seas washed away or damaged about 100 homes

Some communities were cut off after floodwaters took out roads and bridges

And take a look at this. Two paramedics had to be rescued after their truck became trapped in rushing waters

Wow. The National Guard sent in a high-water vehicle to get them out safely

The rainfall totals are staggering. More than 40 inches in at least one part of the Big Island

turning rivers into raging torrents that spilled over their banks. Incredible images

The winds were strong enough to topple trees and power lines, leaving some residents just now getting their first look at what's left behind

We haven't had electricity all night, so I just wanted to get out here and kind of assess for myself what's going on

It's been a pretty challenging experience, just trying to, all these trees are down on top of wires

so we're just hoping emergency crews get to us and help us out a little bit

Restoring power could take days, and in some of the hardest-hit parts of the Big Island

officials warn it could be weeks. Lala has now moved west of Hawaii, but for people on the islands, the cleanup is just beginning

Finally this morning, it's back to school time for millions of kids

and new CDC data shows exemptions from routine childhood vaccines have hit an all high The rate of kindergartners with at least one vaccine exemption reached 4 during the 2025 school year

nearly double the 2.2% rate five years ago. And the vast majority of those exemptions were for non-medical reasons

Measles vaccination also continues to slip from 95% before the pandemic to 92.4% now

That's below the level doctors say is needed to maintain herd immunity and comes during the worst year for measles cases in the U.S. since 1991

Vaccination rates also fell slightly for polio, DTaP and the first dose of the chickenpox vaccine

Dr. David Margolius, director of the Cleveland Department of Public Health, calls the trend concerning

But it's not clear how much of the increase is from parents who oppose routine vaccines and how much is from families facing other barriers to getting children their vaccinations

All right, before we head out, here's what we're tracking today. This morning, voters begin heading to the polls in Alaska, Wyoming and Florida, including voting on who will succeed Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida
