President Trump Warns Iran of Last Chance to Sign Deal as Diplomacy Resumes

President Trump warned Iranian leadership that the current round of negotiations represents their "last chance" to sign a favorable agreement before facing potential military consequences. The administration announced a halt to massive strikes on Iran over the weekend, a move prompted by appeals from Gulf allies and Tehran to prioritize diplomacy. While President Trump described the leaders of Iran as "unbelievably duplicitous" for denying that direct talks are currently underway, he insisted that a deal is imminent regarding the denuclearization of Iran and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has countered these claims, stating that it is currently only engaged in negotiations with Oman to secure safe passage for shipping. Despite the diplomatic friction, the administration has maintained a firm stance, with 50,000 U.S. troops deployed in the Middle East. The conflict has significantly impacted global energy markets, with Saudi Aramco reporting a loss of 2.6 billion barrels of crude from global supplies. President Trump noted that because he is not seeking reelection, he faces no time constraints on the negotiations.
