Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
The U.S. Military says it shot down several Iranian drones, targeting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz,
hours after both sides indicated they were inching toward a peace agreement.
NPR's David Shiverham reports the senior administration
official told NPR the agreement could be finalized in the coming days.
The official who was not authorized to speak publicly says the U.S.
And Iran are about 80 to 85 percent of the way to an agreement, but nothing is finalized.
The U.S. Official says the deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the blockade there,
and it would end Iran's nuclear program and work on a performance-based model with incentives for Iran.
The Justice Department has given it seal of approval for allies
of President Trump to merge two Hollywood Titans, Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery.
But as NPR's David Falkenflick reports, it's likely not the end of the story.
The $111 billion deal would put Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers Studios under the same roof.
Same for HBO and Paramount Plus, CBS and CNN.
The Justice Department cited the major streamers, that's Netflix, Amazon and Apple,
in saying competition wouldn't be hurt in Hollywood and neither would consumers.
Trump has said he wants the deal to go through so CNN would be run like CBS News.
The new editor-in-chief at CBS has had a rocky go.
Her brief tenure has been marked by crisis and accusations of ideological bias.
Trump's pick as head of the Federal Communications Commission has signaled he's likely to approve the deal too.
