  "summary": "US President Donald Trump said Iran was facing its \"last chance\" to reach an agreement with Washington. He stated this was an opportunity to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the five-month-long war.\n\nAccording to Trump, negotiations with Tehran are \"going on right now\" at the request of Iran, backed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. However, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei denied that direct talks with the US were taking place, stating that negotiations are with Oman and focused on ensuring the security of shipping passage through the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nTrump suggested that negotiations could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz \"literally by tomorrow\" and asserted he would not let Iran charge any toll for ships passing through the maritime chokepoint. He also mentioned that he wants to give Iran \"every last chance before decapitation\".",
