Trump Says Iran Deal Near, After Call With Netanyahu

Donald Trump said a deal with Iran would be signed soon and said he had spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The remarks came in a broader roundup of headlines that also noted SpaceX raising $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, a News 12 poll showing Benny Gantz and Naftali Bennett tied in seats, and Mexico beating South Africa 2-0 in the World Cup opener.

The roundup also reported that, after a change of government, Slovenia said it would lift sanctions on Israel. Among the opinion items included in the list, columnist Zvi Barel wrote that Erdogan drew a Middle East map in which Israel is the main threat, and another piece said no world leader has received such humiliating treatment from Trump. No further details were provided on timing beyond the reference to the coming agreement with Iran.
