Trump emphasized that Tehran had a final opportunity to negotiate a deal. He reiterated a threat to launch a major assault on Iran, stating that they were \"maybe going to get something,\" but also emphasized the need to give Iran every chance before taking extreme action.\n\nEarlier in the day, Iran denied that any negotiations were taking place, while Trump dismissed Iran's leadership as \"unbelievably duplicitous.\" When asked about the negotiations, Trump confirmed that discussions were ongoing, and that the talks were being requested by Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. The president emphasized that this was \"the last chance for them to sign a good document.\"",
