Asked if Israel will be ready to end the war in Iran when the US is ready, Trump says "I think so".

President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday he is not interested in a ceasefire with Iran.

“We could have dialogue, but I don’t want to do a ceasefire,” Trump said from the White House before departing for Florida. “You know you don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side.”

“They don’t have a navy. They don’t have an air force. They don’t have any equipment,” Trump continued.
