Farnaz?

What about Israel?

Because Israel's been this other major factor that's been affecting the negotiations.

A potential Israeli attack is part of what's keeping the Ayatollah in hiding and really affecting the way the leadership works.

Are the guards assuming that Trump can keep Israel from waging the kinds of attacks that we've seen destabilize these negotiations?

How do they view Israel in this?

Got it.

So essentially, Israel remains this big wild card, and the negotiations are now stalled on the other sticking points.

But can I ask, what is the ideal realistic outcome of these negotiations for the people leading Iran right now?

It's interesting.

We did not get in Iran the kind of regime change that President Trump and his allies forecast and maybe imagined would come of this war.

But just in terms of these negotiations, these peace talks, is the president right in some sense when he says that there are now more reasonable people in charge in Iran just in terms of reaching a deal?

Well, Farnaz, thank you so much.

We really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for having me, Natalie.

We'll be right back.

Here's what else you need to know today.

New information continued to emerge about Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in D.C.

The incident started when a gunman attempted to storm the annual event where President Trump and senior cabinet officials were in attendance.

The attacker ran through a security checkpoint and exchanged fire with the authorities before being subdued and taken into custody.
