President Donald Trump said his latest offer of talks is a “last chance” for Iran after he called off what he said was a major attack on the Islamic Republic. Iran denied it was negotiating with the US, but said talks with Oman to get more ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz are making progress. Despite the conflicting signals, the suggestions of renewed diplomacy pushed oil prices lower on Monday, with Brent crude down about 4.6% to just under $84 a barrel.

“I want to give them every last chance before decapitation,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “You’ll find out today or tomorrow. I mean, they’re going to go quickly, one way or the other. It’s not very complex.”

It wasn’t clear what negotiations Trump was referring to or who was involved. He’s repeatedly cited diplomatic efforts when he backed off threats of military escalation only to see talks fail. US and Israeli strikes at the start of the war killed much of Iran’s senior leadership.
