Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed negotiations are underway to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as Tuesday after he called off a large-scale “World War II” intensity military operation over the weekend to give Iran a final chance to avoid destruction.
“This is a last chance,” Trump said. “This is the last chance for them to sign a good document.”
“I want to give them every last chance before decapitation,” he added.
The president has given Iran at least a dozen chances since the war began on Feb. 28, threatening strikes or imposing deadlines for major actions by Tehran only to reverse course or extend time limits, according to a review by The Post of prior statements.
This includes backing down from operations to blow up power plants or moving self-imposed deadlines for military strikes.
