Trump’s ‘last chance’ warnings in the US-Iran war: threats without lasting deals

Since the war against Iran began, Trump has repeatedly threatened heavy strikes and issued “one last chance” ultimatums that were followed by delayed actions or ceasefires, a pattern that has kept the conflict volatile with no durable settlement. Iran denies direct talks with the US and says it is negotiating only via mediators (such as Oman over the Strait of Hormuz), while the war drags into its 23rd week with tensions unresolved and no deal in sight.
