U.S. President Donald Trump said on Aug. 4 that a new proposal presented to Iran was its "last chance," while saying he had previously called off a large-scale military strike to leave room for diplomacy. Trump said talks between the United States and Iran had already begun, with a first phase focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and a second phase involving Iran’s denuclearization. He added that the waterway could reopen as early as the next day, but warned the U.S. blockade would remain in place if no agreement was reached or if Iran did not "fully surrender." Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected the claim that it was in talks with Washington, saying discussions with عمان were limited to temporary shipping lane arrangements to ensure safe vessel passage rather than a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
