## Resource

Peace talks stall just as the ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. holds. Iran skips negotiations, and the U.S. leans on its Hormuz blockade, leaving the next move uncertain. Plus, Virginia voters approve a new congressional map, giving Democrats a major edge heading into the midterms. And a growing mystery around 11 dead or missing U.S.-linked scientists. Now, the FBI is trying to determine if any of the cases are connected. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
