Trump says US-Iran talks are 'going on right now,' aims to reopen Strait of Hormuz, warns 'last chance' before 'decapitation'; Tehran denies negotiations
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that talks with Iran are 'going on right now,' calling it Iran's 'last chance' before 'decapitation,' with negotiations reportedly at Iran's request and backed by Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Trump outlined a two-phase process: reopening the Strait of Hormuz as phase one, and Iran's denuclearization as phase two. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran is not engaged in any negotiations with the United States, adding that talks with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz are underway.
