(CNN) — The United States and Iran are moving closer to an agreement on a short memorandum ⁠to end the Iran war, a regional source familiar with the negotiations said, although Trump administration officials cautioned that talks had previously fallen apart at the last minute.

The White House received positive feedback from Pakistani mediators on Tuesday that the Iranians were progressing toward a compromise, two administration officials told CNN while offering some skepticism about Pakistan’s optimism.

But a renewed diplomatic push has emerged in recent days, the regional source said. President Donald Trump appears to be simplifying issues in peace negotiations so moderates in the Iranian regime can come back to the negotiating table, the source added, with the aim being to tackle thornier issues later.

A one-page plan being floated internally contains provisions that have been at the heart of negotiations to end the conflict, a person familiar with the plan told CNN. The document would declare an end to the war while triggering a 30-day negotiation period on resolving sticking points, including on nuclear issues, unfreezing Iranian assets and future security in the Strait of Hormuz, the person said.

Precise details of the plan couldn’t immediately be verified, but the source familiar said it would include discussion of a moratorium on uranium enrichment for a period of longer than 10 years. A previous US proposal had set it at 20 years.

The plan also requires Iran to ship its stockpile of highly enriched uranium out of the country, but details were still being negotiated.

Trump told PBS News on Wednesday that the terms of a potential deal would include Tehran shipping the material to the United States and pledging not to operate its underground facilities.

News of positive movement from the Pakistanis helped spur Trump on Tuesday to announce a pause of “Project Freedom” – an operation to guide stranded ships out of the strait – citing progress in negotiations with Iran, the administration officials said. The pause came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that Operation Epic Fury had ended and that the administration’s full focus was on Project Freedom.

The regional source told CNN that the harder the US pushed its agenda of Project Freedom and Operation Epic Fury, the more the hardliners in Iran stood up and had a bigger voice.

Trump’s top priority is finding a diplomatic offramp to the war and reopening the strait swiftly, the administration officials said.

The president on Wednesday expressed optimism about the prospects of soon reaching a deal, but he acknowledged the US has been down this road before. “Yeah, I think so, but I felt that way before with them, so we’ll see what happens,” he told PBS News.

Earlier Wednesday, he also issued a new threat to Iran, writing on Truth Social that if they don’t come to an agreement, the “bombing starts” and it will be of a “higher level and intensity than it was before.”

Before the declaration of a ceasefire, Trump officials had hoped to finalize a framework on a series of key issues — such as Iran committing to suspending its nuclear enrichment and lifting restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz and the US easing sanctions on Tehran and releasing billions in frozen Iranian funds, CNN previously reported.

(CNN) — Ted Turner, the media maverick and philanthropist who founded CNN, a pioneering 24-hour network that revolutionized television news, died peacefully Wednesday, surrounded by his family, according to a news release from Turner Enterprises. He was 87.

The Ohio-born Atlanta businessman, nicknamed “The Mouth of the South” for his outspoken nature, built a media empire that encompassed cable’s first superstation and popular channels for movies and cartoons, plus professional sports teams like the Atlanta Braves.

Turner was also an internationally known yachtsman; a philanthropist who founded the United Nations Foundation; an activist who sought the worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons; and a conservationist who became one of the foremost landowners in the United States. He played a crucial role in reintroducing bison to the American west. He even created the Captain Planet cartoon to educate kids about the environment.

But it was his audacious vision to deliver news from around the world in real time, at all hours, that really made him famous – once his idea finally took off.

In 1991, Turner was named Time magazine’s Man of the Year for “influencing the dynamic of events and turning viewers in 150 countries into instant witnesses of history.”

Turner eventually sold his networks to Time Warner and later exited the business, but continued to express pride in CNN, calling it the “greatest achievement” of his life.

“Ted was an intensely involved and committed leader, intrepid, fearless and always willing to back a hunch and trust his own judgement,” Mark Thompson, Chairman and CEO of CNN Worldwide, said in a statement. “He was and always will be the presiding spirit of CNN. Ted is the giant on whose shoulders we stand, and we will all take a moment today to recognize him and his impact on our lives and the world.”

Just over a month before his 80th birthday in 2018, Turner revealed that he had Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disorder. In early 2025, Turner was hospitalized with a mild case of pneumonia before recovering at a rehabilitation facility.

Turner is survived by his five children, 14 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Launching a TV news revolution

Turner began his media career at the age of 24 when he took over his father’s billboard company, Turner Outdoor Advertising, in the wake of the elder Turner’s suicide. He buried his shock and grief in work – but Turner wasn’t content to push other people’s products forever.

He bought up radio stations, then branched into television in 1970 by acquiring a struggling station in Atlanta known as Channel 17. He tried to boost the ratings by airing old sitcoms and classic films, at one point even hosting “Academy Award Theatre” himself.

Turner wasn’t interested in news yet. He decided to invest in sports instead, acquiring the rights to Atlanta Braves baseball games. Viewers and advertisers flocked to the channel, and as Turner turned a profit, he started to think bigger about TV.

In 1976 he beamed Channel 17’s signal up to a satellite and it became cable TV’s first superstation, reaching cable subscribers across the country.

Turner bought the Braves, and then the Atlanta Hawks basketball team, partly to keep the long-term rights to the TV programming, and partly because it was just plain fun.

Ted Turner fue el inconformista y filántropo de los medios que fundó CNN, una cadena pionera de 24 horas que revolucionó las noticias televisivas.

El empresario de Atlanta, nacido en Ohio y apodado “The Mouth of the South” por su carácter franco, construyó un imperio mediático que abarcó la primera superestación de cable y canales populares de películas y dibujos animados, además de equipos deportivos profesionales como los Braves de Atlanta.

Turner también fue un navegante de renombre internacional; un filántropo que fundó la Fundación de las Naciones Unidas; un activista que luchó por la eliminación mundial de las armas nucleares; y un conservacionista que se convirtió en uno de los principales terratenientes de Estados Unidos. Desempeñó un papel crucial en la reintroducción del bisonte en el oeste americano. Incluso creó la serie de dibujos animados Capitán Planeta para educar a los niños sobre el medio ambiente.

Pero fue su audaz visión de ofrecer noticias de todo el mundo en tiempo real, a todas horas, lo que realmente lo hizo famoso, una vez que su idea finalmente despegó. En 1991, Turner fue nombrado Hombre del Año por la revista Time por “influir en la dinámica de los acontecimientos y convertir a los espectadores de 150 países en testigos instantáneos de la historia”.

Turner finalmente vendió sus cadenas a Time Warner y posteriormente abandonó el negocio, pero continuó expresando su orgullo por CNN, calificándola como el “mayor logro” de su vida.

“Ted fue un líder intensamente involucrado y comprometido, intrépido, audaz y siempre dispuesto a seguir una corazonada y confiar en su propio juicio”, declaró Mark Thompson, presidente y director ejecutivo de CNN Worldwide. “Influyó en toda la familia de CNN, presente y pasada, y hoy todos dedicaremos un momento a reconocerlo y su impacto en nuestras vidas y en el mundo”.

Poco más de un mes antes de cumplir 80 años en 2018, Turner reveló que padecía demencia por cuerpos de Lewy, un trastorno cerebral progresivo. A principios de 2025, enfermó de neumonía y, según se informó, se recuperaba en un centro de rehabilitación.

A Turner le sobreviven sus cinco hijos, 14 nietos y un bisnieto.

Turner comenzó su carrera en los medios a los 24 años, tras el suicidio de Turner, cuando se hizo cargo de la empresa de vallas publicitarias de su padre, Turner Outdoor Advertising. Ocultó su conmoción y su dolor en el trabajo, pero Turner no se conformó con promocionar los productos de otros para siempre.

Compró emisoras de radio y, en 1970, se expandió al mundo de la televisión al adquirir una emisora ​​en crisis en Atlanta, conocida como Canal 17. Intentó aumentar los índices de audiencia emitiendo comedias antiguas y películas clásicas, llegando incluso a presentar él mismo “Academy Award Theatre”.

A Turner aún no le interesaban las noticias. Decidió invertir en deportes y adquirió los derechos de los partidos de béisbol de los Atlanta Braves. Los espectadores y anunciantes acudieron en masa al canal, y a medida que Turner obtenía ganancias, comenzó a pensar en la televisión a mayor escala.

En 1976, transmitió la señal del Canal 17 a un satélite, convirtiéndose en la primera superestación de televisión por cable, llegando a suscriptores de cable de todo el país. Turner compró a los Braves y luego al equipo de baloncesto Atlanta Hawks, en parte para conservar los derechos a largo plazo de la programación televisiva y en parte porque era simplemente divertido.

Al construir la Superestación WTBS, se propuso un objetivo aún más ambicioso: un canal de noticias 24 horas.

Turner criticó duramente la televisión abierta y los juicios de la prensa del establishment. “Parte de la razón por la que Estados Unidos tenía tantos problemas, creía él, er
