No new negotiations planned despite Trump comments, U.S. officials tell CBS News

President Trump, who called Tehran "unbelievably duplicitous," said the talks are the "last chance" for Iran to forge a deal and avoid an escalation.

The U.S. military said on X Monday that it has redirected 44 commercial vessels under its blockade against Iran.

U.S. forces have disabled two vessels and boarded another two, according to CENTCOM.

President Trump said earlier in a Truth Social post that nothing will get through to Iran "unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished."

After he again backed down on further attacks against Iran to allow for negotiations, President Trump was asked what his message is to the American people.

"Well, you don't know, I don't know, I think we're going to maybe get something," the president told a reporter in the Oval Office. "But I want to give them every last chance before decapitation. Very tough to do what we have planned, still planned. We'll see what happens."

"I'm very proud of the fact that I will give people, I'll give people a chance," he added.

Iran says it's not talking with the U.S. directly at the moment, although Mr. Trump insisted that talks begin today.

"They exchanged views on regional and international developments, including the deteriorating situation in Occupied East Jerusalem," the Foreign Ministry said in a post on X. "DPM/FM invited Foreign Minister Araghchi to visit Pakistan at his earliest convenience."

An expanded Lebanese delegation will travel to Rome on Tuesday for the latest round of U.S.-mediated talks with Israel, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, aimed at moving ahead with implementation of the framework agreement signed in Washington on June 26.

The delegation will include diplomats, military officers, legal experts, economists and border specialists to address a broad agenda covering security arrangements, border issues, reconstruction and the economy, according to the report.

The delegation will be headed by Ambassador Simon Karam and include Lebanon's a
