The statement

Trump called the Iranian leadership unbelievably duplicitous after Tehran denied talks, then said at the White House that talks were going on, that the Strait of Hormuz would open to traffic on Tuesday as phase one with the nuclear programme as phase two, and that this was Iran's last chance. He said the strikes he called off would have been the biggest attack since the Second World War and could still be carried out.
