Former President Donald Trump has reportedly sent a revised draft of a proposed agreement with Iran back to Tehran, demanding tougher terms for a deal aimed at ending hostilities. The revisions, made after a meeting with advisors, focus on strengthening provisions related to Iran's nuclear commitments, the unfreezing of assets, and control over the Strait of Hormuz, extending negotiations that were previously thought to be nearing finalization.

Meanwhile, the "Freedom 250" festival, a large-scale event planned for the National Mall to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, is facing significant controversy. Numerous musical artists, including Martina McBride and Bret Michaels, have withdrawn from performing, stating they were misled about the event's political affiliations and that it has become too divisive.

In response to the artist withdrawals and amid growing political scrutiny, Trump criticized the departing performers and suggested replacing the musical acts with a "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY" featuring himself. He is now slated to headline the opening ceremony of the festival, which is linked to his administration.
