Shocking! Trump Offers Iran a ‘Last Chance’ to Accept Nuclear Deal—Will They Take It?
President Trump is reportedly planning to extend Iran a “final opportunity” to accept a nuclear agreement amid escalating Israeli strikes on Tehran.
This proposal is expected to uphold the Trump administration’s core demand that Iran cease uranium enrichment, though it might offer slight improvements over an earlier offer from about ten days ago, according to Jerusalem Post, citing US and European officials.
As of now, the White House has not responded to requests for comment regarding a possible last-ditch nuclear deal with Iran.
Negotiations between Washington and Tehran resumed in April to replace the 2015 JCPOA, from which the US withdrew in 2018. However, talks have stalled as Iran insists on continuing uranium enrichment, a demand that Trump rejects.
As Iran neared developing nuclear weapons, Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion”, attacking Iranian nuclear facilities and targeting top scientists and IRGC leaders last week. High-ranking figures were killed in the strikes.
The strikes coincided with Trump’s 60-day ultimatum for Iran to negotiate. Iran responded with ballistic missile barrages toward Israel, some hitting civilian areas and causing casualties. Missiles have targeted Israeli cities.

Trump emphasized the need for Iran to make a deal, stating, “Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late,” at the G7 summit in Alberta.
Trump also called for the evacuation of Tehran, criticizing Iran’s nuclear pursuit and warning of further escalation. The US maintains it is not assisting Israel’s attacks on Iran, despite recent statements made by Trump.
