President Donald Trump says the U.S. is unlikely to push Israel to end its airstrikes on Iran, calling it “very hard” to make that request while Israel is gaining ground militarily.
“I think it’s very hard to make that request right now if somebody is winning,” Trump told reporters in New Jersey. “It’s a little bit harder to do than if somebody is losing. But we’re ready, willing and able. And we’ve been speaking to Iran and we’ll see what happens.”
He added: “It’s very hard to stop, when you look at it — Israel’s doing well in terms of war. I think you would say that Iran is doing less well, it’s a little bit hard to get somebody to stop.”
President Donald Trump dismissed the idea of sending American ground forces into Iran, saying it’s not even on the table.
“I don’t even want to talk about the possible use of U.S. ground troops in Iran — that would be an extreme scenario. The American military will not be in Iran,” Trump said.
Trump also dismissed European efforts to mediate the conflict. “They didn’t help,” he said. “Iran doesn’t want to speak to Europe. They want — they want to speak to us. Europe is not going to be able to help on this one.”
