This episode of NPR News Now covers several major developments from June 13, 2026: a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal, a sudden government ban on Anthropic's latest AI models, a worsening Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, World Cup competition in extreme heat, and rival demonstrations in Rome over migration policy.
U.S.-Iran Peace Deal Nears Signing
President Trump announced that a peace deal between the United States and Iran will be signed tomorrow, though nothing is finalized. This follows a week of reignited tensions in the region, despite both sides having wanted to end the conflict that the U.S. and Israel started. Pakistan, which has been facilitating the deal, also indicated an imminent agreement that would be signed virtually. Details on what the agreement will contain remain unclear, but it reportedly would keep the Strait of Hormuz "open to all" and ensure Iran has no nuclear weapon. Trump is scheduled to meet with allies in the region, including Qatar and Egypt, while at the G7 summit in the coming days.
