“There’s been progress made in those talks, but not finality yet,” Rubio told reporters at the State Department. Iran and Oman have meanwhile reported progress in their own negotiations over arrangements for commercial traffic through Hormuz. “This is a last chance,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Monday. Trump said the negotiations would proceed in two stages, with an immediate agreement over Hormuz followed by negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Iran has continued to publicly reject Trump’s characterization that direct U.S.-Iran negotiations are underway, insisting its current talks are with Oman.
