US President Donald Trump said Monday that talks with Iran are now under way, presenting the discussions as a crucial opening for Tehran to secure an agreement. Speaking at an Oval Office event, Trump described the effort as Iran's "last chance" to reach a deal.
According to Trump's account, the talks began at Tehran's request. He suggested the early focus would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route, while also addressing nuclear concerns that have long been at the center of tensions between Washington and Tehran.
The remarks point to a possible diplomatic track at a time when any movement on maritime security and nuclear issues would carry major regional and international significance. Trump framed the negotiations in urgent terms, signaling that the United States sees the current moment as decisive.
Few additional details were immediately available from his public comments, including the structure of the talks or how quickly either side expects progress. Still, Trump's statement indicates that contact between the two sides is active and that the coming phase of discussions may test whether a broader agreement is still achievable.
