‘Braver Angels really helped me to see the humanity in people from the other side’: One high schooler’s journey to better political conversations
Written Gabriella Kearns, Senior Fellow for Civic Storytelling and originally published on Braverangels.org (Mixed bias).Mia Dougherty has always been interested in politics.nbsp;“From the very beginning I wanted to talk about issues. Even when I was in first grade, I remember I did this announcement on the intercom about why people should save the environment and be vegetarian,” she said. “Which is hilarious, because I’m not even vegetarian now.”nbsp;Clearly open to changing her mind, Mia was ahead of the curve when it came to having productive political conversations. There was just one problem: “Kids my age didn’t really want to have the depth of discussion I always wanted to have,” she said. So, when she was just ten years old, her mom enrolled her in Braver Lens, a Braver Angels program that explored the political divide through photography.

Tehran says talks advance on sanctions and frozen assets
Tehran says talks advance on sanctions and frozen assets Iran said good progress was made during the first day of talks with the United States on issues including the release of Iranian assets and relief from oil-related sanctions. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the Iranian delegation stressed that the conflict must end on all fronts, including Lebanon, while discussions also addressed the issuance of necessary licenses for oil sales and the release of Iranian assets. Baghaei said discussions were held on the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz and “a mechanism was set up, which is important”. The comments came after Iranian finance minister Seyed Ali Madanizadeh said the memorandum of understanding would lead to the lifting of oil sanctions and allow Iran to sell crude oil without restrictions. Speaking to the state news agency IRNA, Madanizadeh said: With this agreement, oil sanctions have been lifted, and we can sell our oil without any restrictions and return the foreign exchange to the country. He added that the accord would also support non-oil exports, increase foreign currency earnings and help address budgetary and exchange rate pressures.
