Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jeanine Herbst. President Trump has threatened more strikes on Iran in response to what he says are threats to assassinate him. But as NPR's Emily Fang reports, both Iran and the US say they're also open to resuming peace talks.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that, quote, "One thousand missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at Iran," should Iran try to act on what he says are threats to assassinate him in, quote, "many corners of the globe." But in a separate earlier post, the president also wrote that the US had agreed to resume talks with Iran. This week, the US launched strikes on dozens of sites across Iran after accusing Tehran of attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The US has been pushing Iran to declare the strait open. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson blamed the US for the recent escalation, saying it was the US who violated a ceasefire first, and that breaching commitments was an American, quote, "habit."

In Texas, hundreds of people gathered in Houston this morning for a vigil honoring Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the man shot and killed during an ICE encounter earlier this week. ICE says the officer fired in self-defense. The other men in the car dispute the agency's account. Houston Public Media's Bianca Seward has more.
