But speaking to reporters on Monday morning, Mr. Trump suggested that was incorrect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, they&#8217;re going to have to get themselves better public relations people,&#8221; Mr. Trump said. &#8220;We have had very, very strong talks. We&#8217;ll see where they lead. We have points, major points of agreement, I would say almost all points of agreement. Perhaps that hasn&#8217;t been conveyed. The communication, as you know, has been blown to pieces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president would not say who his administration is speaking to in Iran, only saying it was a &#8220;top&#8221; person but not <span class=\"link\">the supreme leader<\/span>. Mr. Trump added that Iran contacted the U.S., saying, &#8220;So they called, I didn&#8217;t call. They called. They want to make a deal.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump declined to identify the person &#8220;because I don&#8217;t want him to be killed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump&#8217;s comments on Monday are an about-face from a social media post over the weekend in which he declared that if Iran didn&#8217;t open the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would &#8220;hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, former national security adviser in the first Trump administration and a CBS News contributor, says\u00a0 the Iranian regime is &#8220;fragmented right now&#8221; and that the foreign ministry &#8220;probably doesn&#8217;t know&#8221; who is talking to either &#8220;interlocutors or to the U.S. directly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we&#8217;re going to see a lot of this kind of confusing reporting because the Iranians are so fragmented from these strikes,&#8221; McMaster said.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. <span class=\"link\">Mike Waltz told &#8220;Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan<\/span>&#8221; on Sunday that Mr. Trump was keeping all options on the table for potential strikes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To the extent we&#8217;re degrading their military capability and their defense industrial base, all options should be on the table, and the president&#8217;s made that very clear,&#8221; Waltz said.<\/p>\n<p>U.N. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres told Politico last week that an attack on energy infrastructure from either side could constitute a war crime. Waltz responded on Sunday that &#8220;when you have a regime that has its grips in so much critical infrastructure that&#8217;s using it to further, not only the repression of its own people, to attack its neighbors and in contravention of U.N. sanctions, to march towards a nuclear weapon, then that makes those legitimate targets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Strait of Hormuz, the key waterway that, before the Iran war, had enabled the flow of 20% of the world&#8217;s oil shipments, has been effectively closed since the war began. Iran said over the weekend that the Strait would be &#8220;completely closed&#8221; if Mr. Trump carried out his threats on nuclear power plants.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\">Oil and gas prices both fell<\/span>\u00a0immediately on Monday morning upon Mr. Trump&#8217;s announcement on talks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                      <span class=\"byline__author__text\">Claire  Day<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.\n    <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
