Hi there and welcome to meet the press now.

I'm Ryan Nobles in Washington, and we begin with the sky high tension between the U.S. and Iran,

as both countries ramp up their military threats and saber-rattling,

even as diplomatic discussions are underway to rein in Tehran's nuclear program.

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff and the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are in Geneva today

for the second round of indirect negotiations with Iran.

Ahead of today's talks while speaking to reporters on Air Force One last night,

President Trump said he believes that Iran wants to make a deal.

So I'll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they'll be very important, and we'll see what can happen. It's been typically, RADs are very tough negotiators, they're good negotiators, or bad to go.

I would say they're bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B2s

into knockout their nuclear potential and we had to send the B2s.

I hope they're going to be more reasonable.

They want to make a deal.

Has been told that a deal is next to it possible?

No, I think they want to make a deal.

I don't think they want the consequences of not making a deal.

They want to make a deal.

Those comments come just days after President Trump said this about possible regime change in Iran.

Do you want regime change in Iran?

Well, it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen.

For 47 years, they've been talking and talking and talking.

In the meantime, we've lost a lot of lives
