Fox News: Iran’s long trail of deception fuels skepticism over new nuclear deal as talks continue
Recent talks in Rome between the Trump administration and Iran have raised concerns about Tehran's commitment to dismantling its nuclear weapons program. Retired Gen. Jack Keane criticized Iran's tactics, claiming they are repackaging previous falsehoods to secure a new deal similar to the 2015 JCPOA, which Trump abandoned due to Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Iran's leadership maintains that uranium enrichment is non-negotiable, complicating negotiations. The Trump administration aims for a deal within two months, emphasizing military pressure as a potential motivator for Iranian concessions. U.S. negotiators insist that Iran must halt its nuclear enrichment to reach an agreement.

Fox News: Menendez brothers could get freedom under California law signed by Gavin Newsom: expert
The Menendez brothers, Erik and Lyle, may have a chance at resentencing due to California's AB 600 law, which allows inmates to petition for sentence reviews under more lenient laws. Former DA George Gascon filed a motion for their resentencing, arguing they are no longer a threat.
Current DA Nathan Hochman opposes this motion, citing the brothers' lack of accountability for their crimes. The court will hear the case in May, and if successful, the brothers could be eligible for parole hearings due to changes in California law regarding young offenders.
