Iran-US war latest: Trump says Tehran has ‘last chance’ to make deal and Strait of Hormuz could open tomorrow

Donald Trump has accused Iran of being “unbelievably duplicitous” and says Tehran has a “last chance” to agree a peace deal, after the Iranian side denied any discussions were taking place.

The US president said Tehran had “begged” for negotiations and whether they admitted it or not, discussions were taking place to reach “a solution” to the current stand-off.“This is a ‌last chance for ⁠them to sign ⁠a good document,” he said. “[The talks] are going on, they're going on right now.”Trump claimed that the Strait of Hormuz could be open “literally by tomorrow”. “The first phase is the opening of the straits. The second phase will be the denuclearisation,” he said. “That’ll take a little while, but … we’re very strong on it.”
