P.M. Edition for June 11. After threatening more strikes against Iran this morning and then calling them off, President Trump said this afternoon that there’s an agreement to end the war–although final details still need to be completed.

WSJ national security reporter Yoko Kubota discusses why this move might help defuse a fight with Congress over a crucial spying tool.
