Trump Says Iran's Military Is 'Totally Gone,' Urges Surrender

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran's military has been reduced to 'peashooters' and is 'totally gone,' urging Tehran to surrender. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump claimed Iran's leadership wants to make a deal but is too proud to admit it publicly.
Trump praised the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, describing it as unbreakable and effective in pressuring the regime. 'It's like a piece of steel. Nobody's going to challenge the blockade,' he said, asserting that Iran understands the limits of its actions.
When asked what might trigger a U.S. response under the current ceasefire framework, Trump said Iran 'knows what not to do' and promised to announce any violation immediately. He repeated that Iran should save the white flag 'because they'll need it.'
There was no immediate response from Iranian officials, and no changes in military posture were reported from U.S. Central Command. The White House has not announced any upcoming diplomatic initiatives or policy shifts related to Iran.
