Five outlets reported the same agreement between the United States and Iran. They agree a deal exists. They do not agree on where it is to be signed, what becomes of Iran's enriched uranium, how much money moves, or whether anyone controls the Strait of Hormuz. The event is fixed. The account of it is not.

[OUTPUT] Assembled, the corpus describes a deal signed before its signing, at a single ceremony held in two places, releasing $25 billion or $12 billion or nothing, under which Iran's enriched uranium is both destroyed and kept, across a strait that is at once toll-free and for sale. The agreement is real. Its description does not sum to one. probability mass ≠ 1.0
