US President Donald Trump declared Iran had a "last chance" to negotiate an agreement, aiming to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end a five-month-long war. In an Oval Office statement, Trump expressed his desire to offer Iran "every last chance" before considering decapitation. He claimed ongoing talks were taking place, despite Iran's denial, which was supported by Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.
The negotiations, requested by Iran, were said to be focused on securing the Straits of Hormuz, a vital shipping route. Trump insisted on not allowing Iran to charge tolls for shipping passage and outlined a two-phase plan: first, opening the straits, followed by denuclearization. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed it continued to enforce a maritime blockade against Iran, redirecting 44 commercial vessels and boarding two.
Trump's statements followed Iran's denial of direct talks with Washington, emphasizing the need for a deal to end the conflict, which included opening the Hormuz Strait and ending Iran's nuclear threat.
