Timestamps: 00:02–01:05

• Max Gordon (00:18): Outlines ongoing disputes, particularly over the vital Strait of Hormuz:

Both sides are still wrestling over the Strait of Hormuz. Last night Iran launched several one way attack drones trying to strike commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. U. S forces say they shut them all down though with CENTCOM stating that the international trade corridor remains open for transit, that is except for ships trying to go to or from Iranian ports with the blockade still in place. Meanwhile, Tehran and Washington are both trying to play up their end of a potential memorandum of understanding that would end the war and open up a longer negotiation period. According to a senior administration official, the performance based deal includes the destruction and removal of Iran's nuclear material, Iran dismantling its nuclear program, no sanctions relief until compliance, opening up the Strait of Hormuz and ending the funding of terrorist groups.

[Roger Stern]

President is expected to discuss getting minds out of the straight of Hormuz during the Group of Seven summit which begins on Monday. Team USA won its World cup opener last night against Paraguay 4 to 1.
