Mitch McConnell hospitalized; Trump says Iran deal to be signed tomorrow

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, 84, was admitted to a hospital on Sunday morning for an undisclosed health issue. His communications director said, "He is receiving excellent care," adding that McConnell has faced several health concerns in recent years, including falls and a previous eight‑day hospitalization for flu‑like symptoms.

Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that a deal with Iran intended to prevent it from acquiring a nuclear weapon would be signed the following day, after which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened. Trump asserted that no money would change hands and that the agreement would block any Iranian nuclear capability.
