NBC NEWS
About this episode

With hours left on a self-imposed deadline to strike Iran's power plants, President Donald Trump abruptly announced a five-day delay, citing "productive conversations" with Tehran. Oil prices fell and markets surged, but Iran denies that any negotiations were happening. NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Garrett Haake discusses whether this is a real off-ramp or just a pause before further escalation. Plus, NBC News Senior Correspondent Tom Costello on investigations into the Air Canada plane that collided with a fire truck on a runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport overnight, leaving both pilots dead and injuring dozens. Officials are zeroing in on a critical question: Was air traffic control staffing a factor?
