'Instead of caving, Iran is moving step by step out of the nuclear deal and in recent months it hit six ships, attacked Saudi oil facilities and set fire to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad,' Chris Wallace pointed out.

"Instead of caving, Iran is moving step by step out of the nuclear deal and in recent months it hit six ships, attacked Saudi oil facilities and set fire to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad," Wallace pointed out."You said this weekend in an interview with Axios that you think Iran is now more likely to negotiate, but the maximum pressure campaign, at least if you look at the last six months has made Iran...more aggressive, not less aggressive.

Later in the segment, Wallace expressed skepticism that Iranian leaders were growing more willing to negotiate with the Trump administration, referring to a previous interview he'd done with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani."The president and the French President [Emmanuel] Macron were trying to get him [Rouhani], even to get him on the phone to talk and he refused to do so," the journalist explained.

But O'Brien insisted that the"pressure on their economy" will inevitably bring Iran to the negotiation table. He noted that student protesters in the country had chanted"death to the dictator" in the streets, criticizing the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The national security official argued that these demonstrations from the people would force the Iranian regime to dialogue with the U.S.
