U.S. President Donald Trump marks his 80th birthday by praising an emerging agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war, hours before hosting a UFC mixed martial arts event on the White House South Lawn. Multiple outlets report that Trump describes the Iran-related agreement as “complete” shortly before the event, while acknowledging that key details still need negotiation in the coming weeks. They also say the remarks include plans for the U.S. to end its blockade of Iran and for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen. The UFC event features fighters inside a wire-mesh octagon and draws thousands of spectators, with Trump appearing at the venue alongside UFC chief Dana White. Coverage also reports attendance by senior officials and prominent Republicans, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and House Speaker Mike Johnson, alongside Polish President Karol Nawrocki. Several outlets note that the Iran conflict and related energy-market concerns have continued to unfold alongside the event, with critics pointing to the cost and timing of the UFC show. Overall reporting focuses on the pairing of Trump’s birthday celebration with the Iran ceasefire diplomacy and the high-profile televised combat event.
