POLICY WIRE — Washington, DC — US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran on Monday, stating it was facing its “last chance” to reach an agreement with Washington aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the five-month conflict.

“This is a last chance for them to sign a good document,” Trump declared during a press conference at the Oval Office in the White House. “I want to give them every last chance before decapitation.”

Trump also asserted that negotiations with Tehran are “going on right now,” despite repeated statements from Iranian officials denying any direct talks are underway.

The President’s remarks come amid heightened tensions in the region, with the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments—remaining a focal point of conflict. The US has increased its military presence in the area, citing threats from Iran.

The ultimatum from Trump signals a potential shift in US strategy towards Iran, emphasizing a final opportunity for diplomatic resolution before considering more aggressive actions.
