Live updates: Pakistan says US and Iran agree on ‘final’ text of a peace deal

Key Points:

• The Trump administration maintains its war aims against Iran are clear and unchanged, though the list of objectives has expanded over the four-month conflict, with significant tactical successes but uncertain strategic outcomes.
• A Pakistan-brokered peace deal between the U.S. and Iran is reportedly 80-85% complete, with key terms including dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, destruction of nuclear material, and restrictions on funding terrorist groups; both Iranian and Pakistani officials express cautious optimism.
• The U.S. is reducing military assets available to NATO in Europe, including aircraft carriers and fighter jets, as it shifts focus to other global threats, prompting NATO to consider alternative defense plans.
• Cuba announced economic reforms amid ongoing U.S. sanctions and an intensified oil blockade, with Cuban President Díaz-Canel condemning U.S. actions as "imperial perversity" and "fascism."
• The Kennedy Center is removing Trump’s name following a court ruling that only Congress can authorize such a change, despite last-minute efforts by Trump’s appointed board to retain it; meanwhile, Trump faces declining approval among independents, especially those without a college degree.
