Iran Warns Trump’s ‘Last Chance’ Threat Could Spark Global Conflict

POLICY WIRE — Tehran, Iran — Iranian officials have issued a stern warning that recent statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump could escalate tensions to a global conflict. Trump suggested a potential agreement involving the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and addressing Iran’s nuclear program.

In a press conference, an Iranian government spokesperson stated, “Trump’s so-called ‘last chance’ threat is a dangerous provocation that could ignite World War III. The international community must act to prevent such reckless behavior from leading to catastrophic consequences.”

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, has been a focal point of tension between Iran and the United States. Any move to reopen it under U.S. terms is likely to be met with strong resistance from Tehran.

Trump’s comments come amid fluctuating oil prices — and ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region. The former president’s proposal hasn’t been officially endorsed by the current U.S. administration, adding to the complexity of the situation.
