By Steve Holland, Parisa Hafezi, Enas Alashray and Ahmed Tolba
WASHINGTON/DUBAI/CAIRO, April 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face devastating attacks on its civilian infrastructure.

Ty Simpson hit with Brock Purdy comparison before 2026 NFL Draft from Todd McShay

With the 2026 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, one of the biggest questions in the first round centers on Ty Simpson, the quarterback from Alabama who enters the draft with just 15 games on his collegiate resume.
Some, like ESPN's Dan Orlovsky, believe Simpson has the potential to be the best overall player in this year's class, a certified franchise quarterback who should be taken over Fernando Mendoza due to his ceiling. But for others? Well, they cite Simpson's inexperience, lack of prototypical size, and la

NFL declines comment on Troy Aikman's recent comments about his role with Dolphins

Tom Brady blazed the trail. Troy Aikman is now walking the same path.
Brady wears a pair of conflicting hats, covering the entire league as an employee at Fox while owning a piece of the Raiders. Aikman's short-term stint as a consultant for Miami's G.M. and head-coaching hires (both of which they may have nailed) has morphed into an ongoing role that has yet to be fully defined.
The apples-to-apples Brady comparison is unmistakable. An ***** yst who calls games involving all teams has a financial interest

Apollo vs. Artemis: What to know about NASA's return to the moon

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s Apollo moonshots are a tough act to follow, even after all this time.
As four astronauts get set to blast off on humanity’s first trip to the moon in more than half a century, comparisons between Apollo and NASA’s new Artemis program are inevitable.
The world's first lunar visitors orbited the moon on Apollo 8. The Artemis II crew will play it safe and zip around the moon in an out-and-back slingshot.
Another key difference: Artemis reflects more of society, with a woman, person of color a

When asked what the atmosphere had been like during the talks with Rubio, Wadephul said: "It was

South Carolina forward EJ Walker plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

According to On3’s Joe Tipton, South Carolina forward EJ Walker plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Walker just wrapped up his first season in Columbia, earning some playing time off the bench as a true freshman. He now goes into the open market, hoping to find a new home.

Economists cast doubt on inflation report: 'Hard to take this data seriously'

How much is inflation really cooling?
Thursday’s release of November’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed inflation unexpectedly eased to an annual rise of 2.7% that month. But monthly comparisons — October data was never collected due to the government shutdown — were absent from the Labor Department’s report, leaving more recent price swings a bit of a mystery for dozens of product categories.
Economists treaded lightly following the report.

PARIS, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The European Union has reached a preliminary deal on how to regulate gene-edited crops in a move that could ease the development of new varieties in a region long ‌wary of biotech innovations in food.
The EU has debated for years how to regulate so-called new ‌genomic techniques (NGT), which can edit the genetic material of an organism without introducing traits from another species.
Proponents say the technology accelerates naturally-occurring mutations and offers a response to climate and environmental pressures, while critics bracket it with genetically modified o
