Trump Says Iran Faces 'Last Chance' for Deal
US President Donald Trump has again claimed that negotiations with Iran are ongoing, a claim Tehran denies. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump said Iran faces a 'last chance' to reach a deal, warning of dire consequences if it does not. He said he agreed to continue talks at the request of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. The remarks come amid heightened tensions over Iran's nuclear program and US sanctions. No official talks have been confirmed by Iranian authorities, and the situation remains volatile.
Global Impact
The threat of a US-Iran conflict has significant geopolitical and economic implications. A military strike or Iranian retaliation could disrupt oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, driving up global energy prices and inflation.
