President Donald Trump spent Saturday at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, attending the LIV Golf tournament as his administration waited for Iran’s response to the latest U.S. peace proposal.
The president was joined by his son, Eric Trump, Larry Glick, executive vice president of development at The Trump Organization, and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
The president’s appearance came as tensions around Iran remained high.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard navy warned Saturday that any attack on Iranian oil tankers or commercial vessels would be met with a “heavy assault” on one of the U.S. bases in the region and enemy ships, according to Iranian state TV.
The warning came a day after the United States struck two Iranian oil tankers, raising new questions about the month-old ceasefire. The U.S. military said the tankers were trying to breach its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Meanwhile, Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s regional headquarters, said it arrested dozens of people it alleged had links to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Washington is still awaiting Iran’s response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping and roll back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow’s proposal to take enriched uranium from Iran to help negotiate a settlement remains on the table.
For now, the ceasefire appears to be holding, but the threat of escalation remains as the U.S. waits for Iran’s formal response.
