Trump Eyes Iran Deal, But Tehran Still Reviewing; Knicks Win The NBA Finals

US President Donald Trump said an interim deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the conflict with Iran would be signed on Sunday, a claim contradicted by Iran as the two sides still differ over key points, including management of the waterway and payments to the Islamic Republic.

“The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL,” Trump said in a social media post on Saturday, while claiming that Iran “no longer wants a Nuclear weapon.”

Pakistan, which has served as a mediator, is preparing for an electronic signing of the peace deal, “followed by technical-level talks next week,” Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said. Those talks would last up to 60 days and focus on Iran’s nuclear program.

Plus, the New York Knicks ended one of the longest championship droughts in the NBA, bringing relief to their long-suffering fans.

Jalen Brunson, who was named the Finals MVP after the game, scored 45 points to power New York to victory over San Antonio.
