| 0:00.0 | Negotiators for the U.S. and Iran have reached a tentative deal to end the war. |
| 0:09.4 | That's where we're starting the seven from the Washington Post. |
| 0:12.6 | I'm Hannah Jewell. It's Friday, May 29th. |

| 0:21.5 | Senior officials from the U.S. and Iran yesterday said a framework of a deal had been agreed |
