A shooter fired at the White House just as a Middle East peace deal appeared close, raising suspicions about timing while Trump remains safe.

• A gunman fired three shots near the White House from a block away on 17th Street; Secret Service killed him.
• Trump was unharmed and no one inside the White House was hit, though a bystander may have been wounded.
• The shooting happened right as Trump announced a peace deal was close, with Pakistan, Turkey, the UAE, and Iran involved.
• Israel is angry about the deal and does not want it to happen, raising questions about the timing of the attack.
• The last sticking point is control of the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran saying it stays open but under their control.

Outlook: The deal could still get done in the coming days, but Israel is expected to keep trying to block it.
