Trump says Iran facing ‘last chance before decapitation’
The US leader agrees to continue talks at the Gulf states' request as Tehran denies negotiations with Washington were taking place.
US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the United States and Iran were engaged in ongoing negotiations, despite Tehran's denials. The talks, requested by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, aim to address multiple issues, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the denuclearization of Iran.
Trump emphasized that he was giving Iran a "last chance before decapitation" to reach a favorable agreement. The discussions are centered on restoring free passage through the critical oil corridor, which Iran has been blocking and charging fees for. Despite ongoing tensions since February 28, when the US and Israel launched surprise strikes against Iran, the conflict has seen periods of relative calm.
However, Iran continues to possess the ability to launch missiles and drones at US and allied targets in the region, while retaining its enriched uranium stockpiles.
