US President Donald Trump has said he wants a “real end” to the Iran-Israel conflict, not merely a ceasefire, amid mounting global tensions and fears of a wider
Amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, US President Donald Trump has emphasized that Washington is not aiming for a temporary ceasefire but rather a complete and lasting resolution. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump told reporters, “We’re looking at better than a ceasefire. A real end. Not a ceasefire. An end.” His statement comes as the conflict enters its fifth day, with growing international alarm over the possibility of the crisis triggering a broader regional war.
Trump’s remarks followed a week of deadly airstrikes and retaliations that have killed hundreds and disrupted key oil trade routes. When asked about the nature of US support to Israel, Trump reaffirmed, “We’re doing pretty well. Remember, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” The President’s firm stance indicates continued US backing for Israel while hinting at a longer-term strategy to neutralize regional threats rather than pause them. Trump also suggested potential diplomatic efforts, stating he “may” dispatch high-level envoys like Vice President JD Vance or Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff to open lines of communication with Iran.
With tensions at an all-time high, Trump’s language indicates that the US expects the situation to remain fluid and possibly intensify. “You’re going to find out over the next two days. Nobody’s slowed up so far,” he said, signaling that Israel’s military operations may continue. Having left the G7 summit early to monitor the Middle East situation, Trump reiterated that the US is focused on achieving a sustainable end to hostilities. As diplomatic circles scramble to defuse the crisis, the American approach appears to favor strategic pressure over short-term peace deals, drawing both concern and cautious optimism from the international community.
