Trump offers Iran ‘last chance’ for a deal as Tehran again rejects claim talks are underway

President Trump says he's giving Iran one last chance to reach a deal with the United States

Iran, however, continues to insist it is not holding direct talks with Washington

Iran's foreign minister said he spoke late Monday with his counterparts in Oman and Pakistan

as Oman continues to serve as a go-between. But Trump told reporters Monday the two sides are talking

saying Iran requested the contacts with the backing of Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar

We're not talking when you ask me. No, we're not talking. I'll say it. But we are talking right now. We're talking and we're talking at the request of Iran

backed by Saudi Arabia, backed by UAE and backed by Qatar in particular, but others also

Many, many countries call. This is a last chance. This is not something that if it doesn't happen

This is a last chance for them to sign a good document

Yeah, please. Trump said he expects talks on reopening the Strait of Hormuz to begin within the next day or two

followed by negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. He said he believes an agreement is possible, but added that denuclearization will take a little while
