Big Questions About US-Iran Deal, Trump Wraps G7 Summit, Georgia Primary Results

The U.S. and Iran are on the brink of signing a landmark deal to end their war, but the agreement remains shrouded in secrecy—so much so that Israel, America's closest ally in the region, has not been shown the full text. NPR's Aya Batraoui reports from Cairo that the deal, set to be signed by Vice President J.D. Vance, centers on three key points: ending the war, reopening the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping, and lifting the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. Iran claims $12 billion in frozen assets will be released within 60 days, though U.S. officials insist funds will only be unlocked after behavioral changes. The real flashpoint, however, is Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Lebanon against Hezbollah, which Iran insists must cease as part of any ceasefire. President Trump, who has openly criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu, says Israel must be more responsible, even claiming he once cursed at him during a call. Meanwhile, Trump’s endorsement of Republican candidates in Georgia has yielded mixed results: his pick won the Senate primary, but a billionaire-backed candidate defeated his gubernatorial choice. In Oklahoma and Alabama, Trump-endorsed Republicans also won primaries, while Washington, D.C.’s mayoral race remains too close to call, with President Trump threatening federal takeover if a progressive wins.
