We begin tonight with fast-moving developments in just the last few minutes about that peace deal with Iran.

President Trump, moments ago, saying it is, in his words, complete and will be signed within days, meaning an end to the U.S. naval blockade in the region and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a move that should get oil flowing through that key waterway, although that'll take a time. some time. And questions tonight on the specifics of what it all means for Iran's nuclear program, as we learn more about a deal that appears to be the beginning of the end of more than three months of war. We've got team coverage on this breaking news, starting with Kier Simmons in Doha. And Kier, we have some new reaction from Iran just coming into us. That's right, Halley. There are plenty of negotiations ahead, many questions. But this tonight

is history in the making. From here in Doha, across the water in Iran, we're hearing Iranian television is announcing the end of the war. Tonight, President Trump's Iran deal set to be signed, he says, posting, I hereby fully authorize the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, adding that the U.S. Naval Blockade will be removed. Pakistan's Prime Minister, also writing, both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. It's been military pressure and strength from President Trump that's compelled Iran to this deal,

which will be performance-based when it's signed. But in Iran's capital, hardliners protesting against signing the memorandum. NBC News has not verified when the government-approved demonstration took place. And speaking to us before the announcement from Tehran tonight, a former Revolutionary Guard Corps commander says they still have many questions. Saying today was not the day to sign. President Trump had said he expected them to sign a U.S. Iran memorandum today, but the day descended into attacks and recriminations.

This video shows Iran-backed Hezbollah firing drones at Israel today. According to the Israeli defense forces, which launched its own strikes against the militant group in Beirut, killing three people. Hours later, President Trump posting Israel's attack on Beirut should not have happened. A dramatic departure from Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu who ordered the strikes. President Trump demanding no disruption to this important process. All sides stand down, he wrote. And tonight, Hali, the Pakistani Prime Minister posting that there will be a signing ceremony next week on Friday in Switzerland. Hali?

Keir Simmons, thank you. Let's get right to Gabe Gutierrez, who is on the ground ahead of the president's arrival to the G7 summit overseas. Gabe, you heard Keir mentioned the signing. Any chance the president extends his overseas trip to be there for it? Well, Halley, it's possible. At least that's according to Vice President J.D. Vance, who just told Fox News that logistics are still being worked out. The vice president says he plans to be there. Still, Vance cautions that it might take a few days for this new ceasefire to take hold. There has been, of course, plenty of tension between President Trump and European allies over their reluctance to get involved in the Iran conflict. Now, the high-stakes G7 summit is set to take place just across the border in Evian France. Tonight, thousands of protesters took to the streets here in Switzerland, some clashing with police. It's just after midnight here, Halley, and President Trump is set to arrive at the G7 later today.

Halley. Gabe Gutierrez, thank you. The severe weather threat for millions of people tonight after powerful thunderstorms ripped across the plains Saturday. Some 200 reports of damaging wind and hail. A ton of rain is just battering Missouri. Meteorologist Matt Brickman from our NBC New York station is tracking all of this. And Matt, it sounds like there is more on the way. Yeah, Hallie, that same line of storms pushes east tonight, much of the East Coast, under a risk of severe weather.

Already this afternoon, we've seen tornado warnings in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Tonight the concern will be for heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning, particularly around Washington, D.C. in that UFC fight. The timing of these storms also something to watch as it comes overnight when many folks are sleeping. So especially important to have some way to get alerts while you're sleeping, whether it's from your phone or a NOAA weather radio. After that rain clears and it should be done by the morning commute, we actually have some good news here after days of heat and high humidity, cooler and calmer weather to start the week. Matt Brickman, thank you to Missouri now and new developments on a horrific skydiving plane crash there, killing all 12 people on board. Here's Morgan Chesky. Tonight, tragedy in Missouri, the smoldering wreckage remnants of a plane carrying skydivers that crashed moments after takeoff.

The plane took off and then at that point it went down. The company Skydive KC, who operated the plane, tells NBC News all 12 people on board. 11 skydivers and one pilot were killed, saying the private plane went down near Butler Memorial Airport, roughly an hour south of Kansas City. Smoke seen billowing out of the mangled metal pieces as troopers tried to spray down the crash site. Local reporter Doug Mogger capturing this video, just minutes after the impact. When you pulled up to the scene, what struck you? Well, as a pilot, it was quite disturbing, but I did see that there was. flames coming from the wreckage and they were starting to put water on it. The incident now marking

the state's deadliest aviation tragedy since 2004. The FAA is sharing a Pacific Aerospace P-750 crashed while departing from Butler Memorial Airport in Missouri around 1135 a.m. local time, adding the NTSB will lead the investigation. Tonight, the local sheriff's office urging people to avoid the area. As federal agencies begin the long search for answers for loved ones grieving, an unthinkable loss. And tonight the company Skydive, KC, is calling this a devastating law, showing that they won't be releasing the identities of those victims until all of their families can be notified.

The company did add that they're also working with authorities to assist in this very much ongoing investigation. Pally. Morgan Chesky, thank you.

Today, a hero's homecoming for the Kings of New York, as the Knicks Team plane landed early this morning greeted by fans. Saturday night, New York City erupted into cheers at going across all five boroughs, electrified by the game five win and long-awaited NBA title. But the celebrations were marred by violence and destruction. Some people were seen bashing a school bus with a scooter. Several other buses were damaged, and one was set on foot. fire, according to authorities who say they were being used to transport soccer fans from a

World Cup match. The NYPD reporting more than 60 arrests, at least 10 members of the force injured, and a 17-year-old was shot in the foot after gunfire rang out in Times Square. Police say the teen was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition. The fiery passion set off after a more than 50-year wait for the championship. We did it. We hung in, just driving. Nick's guard, Josh Hart, holding the game-winning trophy on the flight home. Air traffic control passing along their congrats to the team. About three to four hours of sleep, but as happy as we could ever be, congrats. But little rest for the weary as the city gears up for more celebrations.

Mom, Donnie announced a parade will take place on Thursday along the canyon of Heroes in Lower Manhattan. That will be followed by a ceremony at City Hall where the team will be presented with the keys to the city. Hally. Valerie Castro in New York, thank you. We are learning more tonight about a terrifying moment captured on camera, a bungee jump gone deadly wrong. Danielle Hamamjin has more with a warning. The video here is disturbing. A new deal. An unimaginable scene captured on camera. This woman about to be launched into a

bungee jump from the top of a bridge in Brazil, but take a close look. The only thing missing is the rope itself, the staff throwing her off the platform without the safety equipment attached. The woman plunging 130 feet to her death. The workers appearing to only realize after the fact what they've done. You can hear someone shouting in Portuguese, the rope. Emergency crews were immediately dispatched, but the victim, identified by local media as a 21-year-old student was declared dead at the scene. The governor's office in Sao Paulo says three men were arrested for homicide with eventual intent. A police official is saying the team operating on the bridge did not have the authorization to be there.

An investigation is now underway. Danielle Hamamjan, NBC News. Still ahead for us tonight with new concerns about the economy. Bank of America's CEO reveals where a lot of folks are cutting back. next. We are back with our series Business in America. And tonight, our Christine Romans, sitting down with the CEO of Bank of America, sharing more about how exactly we are spending our money. Bank of America traces its history back to 1784, its charter signed by John Hancock. Small business happened to be Hancock, Adams, Revere, and people like that.

Brian Moynihan's been the bank's CEO for more than 16 years, a self-proclaimed history buff, who points to the bank's importance in financing everything from the Golden Gate Bridge to Disneyland. I've got a picture of Mickey Mouse at a back of America teller window in my office. Today, Moynihan has his finger on the pulse of the American economy, whether it's at the gas pump or the checkout line. As polls show consumers are more concerned and cautious, he says spending is up 5% over last year. What they're saying is they're very upset and they're worried about high prices, affordability. we have to watch that because if it goes from what they say versus what they do, that's a real problem for the U.S. economy. The longer the war with Iran continues, the more stressed on small businesses, consumers, and a challenge for the new chairman of the Federal Reserve.

We've got to figure out inflation. Moynihan sees families making tradeoffs to balance their budget. It's shaping up to be a more expensive summer. How are Americans handling it? America is still spending money, which is counter to the narrative that they're pulling back. They're not. They're spending money. what they do in times of stress, and we've seen this, we tracked this data for 30, 40 years, is they'll start to shift. They'll shift away from the more expensive restaurant for that household to another restaurant. They'll shift from this grocery store, which might have higher price

point to another grocery store. Even making multiple trips to the gas station instead of top in the tank. Moynihan says the bank is seeing evidence of a K-shaped economy where wealthier Americans are thriving, but middle and lower income households struggle. There's a third of our population that are losing little ground now. on price growth versus wage growth. With unease that the rise of AI will eliminate some jobs, Moynihan has a message for business leaders. Keep hiring.

Our job as employers, and I think all employers should be thinking about this, is apply AI, but do it in a way that you're making sure that you're rescaling your people, retraining your people, and using them first. B of A just hired 2,000 new graduates and is bringing on another 2,000 paid summer interns. And Moynihan says the way people use banks is to, changing too. You can do everything you want on that phone or on your computer or a different way, but people still come in why they want advice about financing a home. They want advice about the kids going to college. Bank of America's CEO pointing out technology has been changing banking in this

country for the last 250 years. Christine Roman's NBC News, New York.

Big day for underdogs and upsets on this first weekend of World Cup play. Our Jesse Kirsch explains. Tonight, the World Cup making history again. Curis out, the smallest nation to ever qualify stunning this Houston crowd and scoring against four-time champion Germany.

Germany ultimately dominating 7-1. That hasn't stopped legions of Curacao fans from celebrating in Texas. What was it like to see Curacao score a goal against Germany? Curacao's entire population, just over 150,000 could fit inside two NFL stadiums. When Curacao put the ball in the net, it's going through your mind. Yeah, man, it's explosions, Bob. It's a roller coaster of emotions. It's about letting the world know who we are and what we have to offer.

that's the most beautiful. The weekend also bringing this stunner from down under. Underdog Australia, toppling Turkey, 2-0. And today, Dutch fans boasting bright orange on this march through Dallas before ultimately playing Japan to a tie. The international tournament, not without issues. Prosecutors in Kansas City say two people have been charged in connection with roughly $18,000 worth of property that was stolen from Team England. And back here in Houston, the party is far from over for Curacao and its fans. The team has at least two more matches to play in the group stage, and we'll see if Cinderella can keep going. The more blue, the better. Jesse Kirsch, thank you. And for all the action, you can watch the games in Spanish on Telemundo and Peacock and in English on Fox.

When we come back, there is good news tonight about the big celebration for the littlest faces. There is good news tonight about a group of women making it their mission to make every morning a good morning for every student. For the students at Greenwood Elementary in Kentucky, stepping off the school bus means stepping into a great day. Driving that charge, this group of Louisville women. Each month, they organize an event called Mornings with Moms, a surprise celebration to give a big boost to the littlest faces in Jefferson County.

Being a mom, I know how hectic the mornings can be. They get on the bus. They might be in their thoughts. And then they get here and they see this pool of people here to say hello. And you can just see their face just light up. Whether it's a high five, a dance, a wave or a cheer. Each kid gets a morning dose of motherly love. I usually scream with excitement, but I always tell them to have a great day.

No matter how your day started, we want you to start fresh. And these kids don't just hear it. They believe it. Only you know who you are. But Sean. You're amazing. And for the grown-ups, it's about a lot more than smiles like this. Whether you're a working mom, a stay-at-home mom, for all of the women who show up that may not have children of their own, yet they choose to mother children.

I just love that sisterhood of motherhood. And I love being able to rub shoulders with women who are walking this same walk with me. Making each day brighter one morning at a time. A good morning, indeed. That is nightly news for this Sunday. I'm Hallie Jackson. For all of us here at NBC, thanks for watching and have a great week.
