Tonight, searching for a way out.

The administration steps up efforts to end the four-week war with Iran, even as more U.S. troops

get ready to head to the Middle East.

Then, deal or no deal, Senate Republicans are trying to come up with a plan to fund homeland

security, but can they get Democrats, Trump, and the House GOP on board?

Plus a Florida Democrat pulls off an upset win in a special election in Trump's own backyard

as the 11th hour gets underway on this Tuesday night.

Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Ruhl. Back in New York City on the 25th day of Donald Trump's war with Iran, the president made some very big announcements about the negotiation that he says his administration is having with them. Watch this. They're going to make a deal.

They're going to make a deal.

They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually.

They gave us a present, and the president arrived today.

It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.

And I'm not going to tell you what that present is,

but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us. It was oil and gas related,

and it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right

people. We've won this. This war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.

If you read the papers, you think we're tied. You think we're in a tough battle. We are

roaming free over Tehran, the city, Tehran, as opposed to Iran. We're roaming free.

We can do whatever we want.

Okay, that's what the president said.

However, a senior diplomat working in Iran told MS now, quote,

Iran is not ready at all to enter negotiations at this moment in time.
