Trump says new talks are the 'last chance' for Iran to forge a deal and avoid an escalation of US strikes (latimes.com)

US President Donald Trump on Monday warned that Iran has a "last chance" to reach a deal with the United States or face "decapitation," as he announced new negotiations with Tehran. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump emphasized that the talks are a critical opportunity for Iran to address US concerns about its nuclear program and avoid further military action.

The White House confirmed that the Pentagon had presented Trump with a plan to escalate tensions with Iran, but the president insisted that an agreement is still possible. Multiple sources reported that Trump described the upcoming discussions as a "last chance" for Iran, with some media outlets noting that the talks are expected to begin within the next few days.

Despite the urgency, Trump also suggested that the negotiations are not overly complex and could move quickly. However, the situation remains tense, with some reports suggesting that a call from Saudi Arabia’s crown prince may have influenced Trump’s decision to delay potential strikes against Iran.
