Hi there. Welcome to Meet the Press Now. I'm Ryan Nobles in Washington, where President Trump is once again threatening to strike Iran's energy grid and water supply, while simultaneously touting the status of diplomatic

talks with Tehran to end the war, and while suggesting the U.S. could take the oil in Iran,

all as war continues to send shockwaves through the economy here at home. This morning, President

Trump posting on social media that the U.S. is in, quote, serious discussions with Iran,

but warning that if a deal is not reached soon and if the Strait of Hormuz is not immediately reopened

by the president's April deadline, the U.S. will blow up and completely obliterate Iran's civilian

energy and water infrastructure. It comes as the president spoke to reporters on Air Force One late yesterday and suggested that

a deal could come soon.

I would only say that we're doing extremely well in that negotiation, but you never know with

Iran because we negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up.

Sir, could you first see a deal in Iran this upcoming week?

I do see a deal in Iran, yeah.

Could be soon.

Now, despite that, Iran says there have been no direct negotiations between Tehran and Washington

and called the Trump administration's 15-point plan to end the war, quote, unrealistic and unreasonable.

But today, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt pushing back, saying Iran is eager to negotiate.

It's no surprise that we are seeing the remaining elements of the regime become increasingly eager to end the destruction and come to the negotiating table

while they still can. Despite all of the public posturing you hear from the regime and false

reporting, talks are continuing and going well. If the Iranians reject this golden opportunity,

the greatest military and the history of the world continues to stand by to provide President Trump with every option available to ensure this regime continues to pay a grave price.

If an American sit at home, hearing him say, I want to talk, but I keep seeing them send troops to that region.

What are they to make of what's going on?
