President Donald Trump said Friday that he is not interested in negotiating a ceasefire with Iran, even as the U.S.-Israel conflict in the region enters its third week. Speaking from the White House before leaving for Florida, Trump emphasized that while dialogue might be possible, a ceasefire is not an option. “You don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side,” he said, adding that Iran lacks a navy, air force, or significant military equipment.
The president reiterated earlier statements that he does not plan to deploy ground troops in Iran. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has announced a second deployment in as many weeks, sending up to 2,500 Marines to the Middle East to bolster U.S. forces in the ongoing conflict, which has expanded beyond the initial U.S.-Israel strikes.
