Trump Rejects Ceasefire, Demands Real End to Israel-Iran Conflict
President Donald Trump said early Tuesday that he is seeking “a real end” to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, claiming that such a resolution would be far more meaningful than a temporary ceasefire. His comments came during a brief press appearance upon returning to Washington, D.C., after leaving the Group of 7 summit in Canada ahead of schedule.
“Ceasefires don’t mean much,” Trump told reporters. “We need a real end. Something that doesn’t restart in a few weeks. That’s what the American people want, and that’s what the world needs.”
The president’s remarks come amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, fueled by rocket exchanges and mutual threats that have rattled both the Middle East and global markets. The Biden administration had pushed for diplomatic measures and urged calm over the past week, but Trump has taken a firmer, more aggressive tone in contrast.
“We’re not in the business of pretending things are fine. We want peace — but real peace. Not just paper agreements that nobody follows,” Trump added, hinting at his dissatisfaction with past diplomatic efforts.
Trump did not disclose whether military options were on the table, but insiders suggest that he has held private meetings with defense officials regarding strategic deterrence and international mediation possibilities.
Critics argue that Trump's language could inflame tensions rather than de-escalate them. However, supporters say his blunt approach is necessary to push long-term solutions and break the cycle of temporary truces and renewed violence.
More updates are expected as the administration continues talks with regional allies and intelligence leaders.
