Trump didn't mention "regime change" - a term that senior administration officials have avoided since the US launched the attack six days ago. But it's hard not to interpret Trump's call for a full surrender as anything other than an end to the Iranian regime as it stands now. Trump also reiterated his position that the US should play a role in shaping Iran's political future after the war. "A third party source has reported a tug being hit by unknown projectiles in the Straits of Hormuz," it says. The Strait of Hormuz is the world's busiest oil shipping channel, and is bounded by Iran to the north and Oman to the South.
