US President Donald Trump claims the current talks with Iran are its “last chance to sign a good document.”
“I want to give them every last chance before decapitation,” Trump says.
Trump has routinely threatened to strike Iran, only to walk those threats back by claiming Middle East countries had assured him that a deal was imminent.
Trump claims the US and Iran are in the midst of talks that could see the Strait of Hormuz fully reopened by as early as tomorrow.
Next, the sides will hold talks on an agreement aimed at the “denuclearization” of Iran.
