President Donald Trump on Tuesday derided Iran's military capabilities, suggesting Tehran should surrender, though their national pride prevents it. Trump accused Iran of possessing only 'peashooters' for military defense and claimed the country privately hopes for an agreement despite public aggression.

In the Oval Office, Trump praised the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, describing it as 'a piece of steel' and noting it's effectively unchallenged. 'Nobody's going to challenge the blockade,' he stated, affirming its success in restricting Iranian force.

When questioned about Iran's potential ceasefire violations, Trump was evasive but suggested consequences would be forthcoming. He reiterated his point by saying Iran 'should save the white flag of surrender.' According to Trump, Iran's current position in any conflict is untenable.
