Trump warns Iran it has a ‘last chance’ to reach agreement with the US

US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran has a final opportunity to reach an agreement with the United States, saying he postponed planned military action to allow diplomacy one last chance.

US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran has a final opportunity to reach an agreement with the United States, saying he postponed planned military action to allow diplomacy one last chance.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said several Gulf countries had urged Washington to delay military strikes against Iran in the hope that negotiations could produce a diplomatic breakthrough. According to the US president, those requests led him to postpone military action once again.

Trump stated that multiple regional governments had contacted his administration, asking that Iran be given another opportunity to negotiate. He described the current moment as Iran’s “last chance” to avoid further escalation and urged Tehran to seize the opportunity for a peaceful resolution.

When asked why this latest diplomatic effort differed from previous attempts, Trump replied that he wanted to give Iran one final opportunity before what he described as “complete destruction.” However, he did not provide additional details about the conditions that could trigger military action or a specific timeline.

Despite his warning, Trump expressed optimism that negotiations could move forward quickly. He said the first phase of a potential agreement would involve reopening the Strait of Hormuz to unrestricted maritime traffic by Tuesday, while the second phase would focus on ending Iran’s nuclear program.

The US president acknowledged that dismantling Iran’s nuclear program would not happen immediately and would require additional time to implement. He added that both the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and measures related to Iran’s nuclear activities were included in a memorandum of understanding reportedly reached between the two sides in June.

Trump’s remarks come amid renewed diplomatic efforts surrounding the long-running dispute over Iran’s nuclear program and regional security. Tensions between Washington and Tehran have remained high despite repeated attempts to revive negotiations.

Earlier in the day, Trump also announced that talks with Iran were expected to take place. However, Iran has maintained that its current discussions are being conducted through Oman rather than in direct negotiations with the United States. The differing public statements highlight the continuing uncertainty surrounding the diplomatic process.

No immediate response from Iranian officials was reported following Trump’s latest comments. It also remains unclear whether a formal agreement is close or whether the two sides have narrowed their differences on key issues, including nuclear activities and regional security.

Observers say the coming days could prove significant as diplomatic contacts continue and both sides weigh the possibility of further negotiations against the risk of renewed confrontation in the region.
