Trump says new talks are Iran's "last chance" to make deal
President Trump on Monday said he was giving Iran a "last chance" to make a deal to end the war through diplomacy. CBS News' Natalie Brand reports.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran has a "last chance" to reach an agreement with Washington to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. According to Trump, negotiations with Tehran are currently underway, despite Iran's denials.
Trump stated that he wants to give Iran every last chance before what he called "decapitation". He claimed that the talks are taking place at Iran's request, backed by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said that there are no direct talks with the US, and that negotiations are instead taking place with Oman to ensure the security of shipping passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump suggested that an agreement could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz "literally by tomorrow", and that he would not allow Iran to charge a toll for ships passing through.
