"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.

President Trump says a P-Steal with Iran will be signed tomorrow, though Iran hasn't confirmed that timeline.

As India Hadid reports, the two sides have come this close before."

The Pakistani Prime Minister share Basharith posted on X that his countries preparing for an electronic signing of the P-Steal, followed by technical level talks for the following day. The foreign minister's heart died, posted similar news, saying the U.S. Iran negotiations were in their final stage.

The Iranian Foreign Minister's spokesman was reported in Iranian media, saying the deal will include releasing billions of dollars that's been frozen in Gulf banks. And he says at this stage, the deal will not address Iran's enriched uranium. While there appears to be momentum for the latest Middle East Water End, Iran and the U.S. have come close before to negotiating a deal only to have it fall apart.

Dear, dear NPR News. The Trump administration says it killed the leader of the "trenday" or "Gragwak," Cartel in Venezuela, "incordination with the Venezuelan government." Defense Secretary Pete Hegg says says on social media it was "in full collaboration with

Venezuela and security forces," and that it took place earlier this week on a compound

inside Venezuela. And here's Deepa Shiveram. Has more. Trump has long blamed "trenday" "ragwak" for violence in the U.S. and cited them as a reason for his mass deportation agenda, which you'll recall he talked a lot about during his campaign

for president, right? And Trump also cites "trenday" "ragwak" as one of the reasons that the U.S. has carried out dozens of strikes on boats off the coast of Venezuela that the administration says are carrying drugs, and that's happened over the last several, several months. We're on 200 people, though, have died in those strikes, and many legal experts considered

these to be extra judicial killings." And here's Deepa Shiveram reporting. The Justice Department has given its seal of approval for allies of President Trump to merge two Hollywood titans, Paramount, and Warner Bros. Discovery.

But as him here's David Foconflick reports, it's likely not the end of the story.

The $111 billion deal would put Paramount pictures and Warner Bros. studios under the same

roof. For HBO and Paramount Plus, CBS and CNN. The Justice Department cited the major streamers that's Netflix, Amazon, and Apple, in saying competition wouldn't be hurt in Hollywood, and neither would consumers. Trump has said he wants the deal to go through so CNN would be run like CBS news.

The new editor-in-chief at CBS has had a rocky go. Her brief tenure has been marked by crisis and accusations of ideological bias. Trump's pick as head of the Federal Communications Commission is signaled he's likely to approve the deal too, but authorities in the UK and Europe are still reviewing it. And several Democratic states attorneys general are investigating.

They may sue to block the merger. David Foconflick and PR news. "You're listening to NPR news in Washington."
