"Donald Trump called on Iran to 'wave the white flag of surrender' as he spoke with reporters - alongside a group of child athletes - at the White House on Tuesday. "Maybe you won't see a white flag, but essentially, that's already what they are. They need, they should wave the flag, the white flag of surrender. In hockey, they say, uncle, right? When are they going to cry uncle? And they have another expression. If this were a fight, they would stop it. But, you know, we have to go out and we have to do it," he said. On Monday, Trump announced that the US would 'guide' stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz - warning that Iran would be 'blown off the face of the earth' if it attacked his vessels. The US and Iran had conflicting accounts of attacks on shipping in the Strait. Washington claimed two vessels had passed through, which Iran strongly denied. Trump also claimed the US had 'shot down' seven 'fast boats' from Iran, while Tehran said two of those were civilian vessels, with five people killed. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi dubbed Trump's 'Project Freedom' as 'Project Deadlock': "As talks are making progress with Pakistan's gracious effort, the US should be wary of being dragged back into quagmire by ill-wishers." Around 2,000 ships are stuck in the Strait, with Iran blocking the key waterway to 'unfriendly' vessels - and the US blockading Iran's ports too. The event on fitness also included War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy and South African champion golfer Gary Player."
