BREAKING: Trump calls Iran's BLUFF as negotiations stall

>> Harris: PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS. A DEAL WITH IRAN IS IMMINENT. AFTER CALLING OFF A NEW WAVE OF. MASSIVE AIR STRIKES OVER THE. WEEKEND AND RENEWED TAX WITH A. RADICAL ISLAMIC REGIME ARE SET. TO RESUME TODAY. IRAN IS DENYING THIS, AS YOU. KNOW THEY DO. THE PRESIDENT REMAINS OPTIMISTIC. ABOUT A POTENTIAL DEAL FOCUSED. ON REOPENING THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ AND NEW NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

FOR IRAN. HERE IT IS. >> President Trump: NOW WHAT. WE'RE DOING IS TALKING TO THEM. IN FORM OF NEGOTIATION. I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT. SAVE A LOT OF LIVES. SAVE A LOT OF UNNECESSARY POWER. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. IT WILL TAKE MANY YEARS TO BUILD. IT BACK. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE. BUILDABLE BACK. >> Harris: THE LATEST FROM THE. PRESIDENT. LUCAS TOMLINSON IS AT THE WHITE. HOUSE. >> GOOD MORNING. THE FIFTH TIME SINCE APRIL THAT.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TURNED OFF. THE LAUNCH OF MAJOR AIR STRIKES. ON IRAN. THAT COULD ONLY BE TEMPORARY. AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST A FEW. SECONDS AGO TOOK TO TRUTH SOCIAL. TO POST THAT HE HAVE IS CALLING. IRAN TO -- AFTER THE IRANIANS. SAID THEY WOULD ONLY BE DEALING. WITH OMAN, NOT THE UNITED. STATES. LOOKS LIKE TALKS ARE OFF RIGHT. NOW. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYING IN PART. NOTHING GETS THROUGH TO IRAN. UNLESS WE WANT IT TO. NOTHING WILL GET THROUGH UNLESS. A DEAL WHERE TOTAL SURRENDER IS. ACCOMPLISHED. THAT MEANS AIR STRIKES COULD BE.

ON THE MENU AS SOON AS THIS. EVENING. THE PRESIDENT WE TALKED TO HIM. AT 1:30. SOME REPUBLICANS, HARRIS, ARE. DUBIOUS ABOUT ANY TALKS WITH THE. IRANIAN REGIME. >> HE HAD THE GUTS TO FINALLY. SAY AFTER WE HAD PRESIDENTS. APPEASED A-- HE HAD THE GUTS TO. DO IT. I KNOW HE IS GIVING DIPLOMACY A. CHANCE. DO I BELIEVE IT WILL WORK IN. PROBABLY NOT. >> Bill: THE PRESIDENT RETURNED.

TO THE WHITE HOUSE LAST NIGHT. ANOTHER SHIP WAS ATTACKED IN THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ. TRUMP AND GULF ALLIES WANT TO. SEE THE STRAIT OPEN. ONLY THREE TO 5 MILLION BARRELS. OF OILED ARE MARKING IT THROUGH. BEFORE THE CONFLICT FIVE MONTHS. AGO 20 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL. MADE IT THROUGH EACH DAY. MANY COUNTRIES ARE LOOKING AT. ALTERNATIVE METHODS TO AVOID THE. STRAIT TO GET OIL TO MARKET. WHAT THE SAUDIS AND GULF ALLIES. TOLD HIM YESTERDAY. >> President Trump: THE REASON. THEY ASKED I THINK THERE IS A.

DEAL. A DEAL FOR BOATS AND A DEAL ON. THE NUCLEAR OR THE. DENUCLEARIZATION OF IRAN. WE'RE HOLDING IT. YOU CAN DO IT ANY TIME WE WANT. >> LAST WEEK UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT. ZELENSKYY TOLD BRET BAIER RUSSIA. IS ENJOYING SEEING THE PROLONGED. CONFLICT STRETCHING OVER FIVE. MONTHS NOW. THAT MEANS THE U.S. IS FOCUSED. MORE IN THE MIDDLE EAST SENDING. WEAPONS AND FORCES AND UKRAINE.

IS GETTING LESS HELP. >> Harris: THE WHITE HOUSE CAN. DO MORE THAN ONE THING AT A TIME. WITH SANCTIONS. I WANT TO FOLLOW UP. WE HAD, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF YOUR. STORY THERE WORD FROM THE. PRESIDENT THAT A DEAL WAS. IMMINENT SO ON AND SO FORTH. MOMENTS AGO YOU CAUGHT ON TRUTH. SOCIAL. WE ARE SITTING ON TRUTH SOCIAL. NOW. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS MOVING. TALK TO ME ABOUT A RESET. I KNOW WE'RE IN A PAUSE AGAIN. BUT THE PRESIDENT IS ANXIOUS TO. AT LEAST COMMUNICATE WITH US IN.

REALTIME. WE ARE APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. BUT DOES IT DO A RESET EVERY. TIME THEY GO BACK YOU HAVE. PAKISTAN, QATAR, SAUDI ARABIA, OMAN, SO MANY HANDS IN THE PIE. SUCH THAT EVERY TIME YOU RESUME. IS IRAN GETTING A BETTER DEAL? >> THE LIST OF MEDIATORS KEEPS. GROWING AS YOU POINTED OUT. FIRST IT WAS PAKISTAN AND THEN. QATARIS, OVER THE WEEKEND SAUDI. ARABIA. PRESIDENT TRUMP SPOKE TO SAUDI. CROWN PRINCE. BUT WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST. POSTED ON TRUTH SOCIAL. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW UP IN THE OVAL.

OFFICE. APPEARS THE TALKS ARE OFF AFTER. IRAN SAID THEY AREN'T INTERESTED. IN TALKS WITH THE UNITED STATES. OR DIPLOMAT. ONLY WANT TO DEAL WITH THE. OMANIS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID. A DEAL OR TOTAL SURRENDER. WORTH LOOKING AT THAT ONE MORE. TIME. PERHAPS THE CONTROL ROOM CAN PUT. IT OH THAN THE SCREEN AGAIN. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS USING. LANGUAGE LIKE TOTAL SURRENDER. ONCE AGAIN. IT APPEARS THAT TALKS ARE OFF. NOTHING GETS THROUGH TO IRAN.

UNLESS WE WANT TO AND A DEAL AND. TOTAL SURRENDER IS ACCOMPLISH. IT APPEARS AIR STRIKES ARE BACK. ON THE TABLE. >> Harris: WE DON'T KNOW WHEN. AND THE PRESIDENT THERE. COMMUNICATING IN REALTIME WHAT. IS HAPPENING. OMAN IS DEFINITELY ON THE LIST I. READ. JUST NOT SOLELY ON THAT LIST. THAT'S INTERESTING. IT FEELS LIKE THE BALL IS. MOVING. THE PRESIDENT IS KEEPING US. POSTED AND SO ARE YOU, LUCAS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IN "FOCUS" WITH ME MATTHEW WHIZ. BUCKLEY, FOUNDER OF THE SACRED.

WARRIOR FELLOWSHIP AND PILOT. TALKS ARE OFF WITHIN THE LAST. COUPLE OF MINUTES THERE. WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU ABOUT. WHAT IS GOING ON? NORMALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE AT. WHAT, 45,000 FEET, MAYBE HIGHER. THAN THAT IN A JET AND ALL THESE. THINGS ARE GETTING WORKED OUT ON. THE GROUND. YOU ARE WATCHING IT ON GROUND. LEVEL WITH THE REST OF US. WHAT DOES YOUR EXPERIENCE TELL. YOU? >> WELL, HARRIS, YOU ALL JUST. USED THE WORD RESET. THE ONLY PEOPLE RESETTING ARE. THE IRANIANS. AND THE IRANIAN FORCES. LAST WEEK IT WAS REPORTED THAT.

CHINA WAS ALLEGEDLY DELIVERING. 400 AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS. ACCORDING TO SOME SOURCES BACK. IN APRIL REMEMBER THE EASTER. RESCUE OF THE F-15 STRIKE EAGLE. CREW WAS POTENTIALLY SHOT DOWN. BY A MAN PAD PROVIDED BY CHINA. SO THIS IS A RESET ONLY FOR. IRAN. HARRIS, WE ARE LOOKING FOR. DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS WITH PEOPLE. THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND DIPLOMACY. THEY ONLY UNDERSTAND FORCE.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU CAN SEE THE. FRUSTRATION WITH THE PRESIDENT. THESE AIN'T MANHATTAN REAL. ESTATE DEVELOPERS, RADICAL. ISLAMIC TERRORISTS THAT WANT TO. FIGHT TO THE END.. THE ONLY RESET IS FOR THEM TO. REARM. >> Harris: TALK ABOUT WHAT WE. KNOW ABOUT OMAN. WHY WOULD THEY CHOOSE OMAN -- I. GET WHY THEY DON'T CHOOSE SAUDI. ARABIA. WHY THAT PARTICULAR COUNTRY? >> WELL, I SAILED THROUGH THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ A BUNCH OF. TIMES ON A COUPLE OF AIRCRAFT. CARRIERS, OMAN IS ON THE LEFT. SIDE. IF THEY WANT TO DO A GARDEN.

STATE PARKWAY OR SOPRANOS IT. WILL THE IRANIAN ON THE RIGHT. AND OMAN ON THE LEFT TRY TO JOIN. FORCES THERE. THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID. REPEATEDLY THAT IS NOT GOING TO. HAPPEN. WE WON'T ALLOW THAT, EITHER. >> Harris: THAT IS SO. FASCINATING. YOU ARE TALKING GEOGRAPHICALLY. YEAH, THEN THEY CONTROL. THAT MAKES SENSE. AND THEN BOTH THOSE COUNTRIES. CAN CHARGE WHATEVER THEY WANT, WHICH IS WHY PRESIDENT TRUMP IS. SAYING NO TO THIS. YOUR LAST QUICK THOUGHT. >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT, HARRIS.

OMAN LIKE MANY OF THE COUNTRIES. IN THE REGION KIND OF SMILE AND. TELL US ONE THING AND BEHIND OUR. BACKS THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING. ELSE. WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON.
