Iran ridicules - then rejects - US peace plan

The Global News Podcast reports on international affairs, focusing on Iran's rejection of a US peace plan and the global economic impact of the conflict. Iran dismissed the US proposal as negotiating with itself, while the US insists on dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities and ceasing support for proxy militant groups. The conflict's disruption of oil supplies, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, has led to a national energy emergency in the Philippines, which is now considering sourcing oil from sanctioned countries. The podcast also addresses the legacy of Jeffrey Epstein, featuring interviews with survivors who express safety concerns and discuss the complicity of Epstein's associates, and the UN's consideration of the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity.
