It's Tuesday, the 16th of June.
Welcome to the President's Daily Brief.
I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage.
All right, let's get briefed.
First up, as we discussed earlier today, the Iran deal or agreement or memorandum of understanding is now reportedly signed.
But the hard part may just be beginning.
And by may just be beginning, I mean, yeah, the hard part is definitely still to come.
We'll take a closer look at the five biggest unanswered questions surrounding the U.S.-Iran agreement.
And we'll also ask the question, are there really only five big unanswered questions?
Later in the show, President Trump heads to the G7 summit with what he calls a breakthrough Iran agreement in hand.
We'll examine how that deal is influencing conversations on everything from Ukraine and trade disputes to China's growing global influence.
Plus, Israel pushes back on reports that the new U.S.-Iran agreement could affect its military presence in southern Lebanon.
And in today's Back of the Brief, Israel announces the death of a Hezbollah commander accused of orchestrating one of the deadliest attacks on American troops during the Iraq War.
But first, today's PDB Spotlight.
The U.S.-Iran agreement has now reportedly been signed by both sides.
President Trump has declared the deal complete.
May I recommend that you take that with a grain of salt, though, given past Iranian regime performance.
Administration officials say the Memorandum of Understanding was signed electronically by both sides, and a formal signing ceremony is expected later this week.
But while the agreement itself is now apparently a reality, many of the most important questions surrounding it remain unanswered.
In fact, the difficult part is just beginning.
