U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the war with Iran in a conversation with reporters outside the White House, saying "we can have a dialogue, but I don't want to do a ceasefire." According to him, "you don't do a ceasefire when you're just completely wiping out the other side. They have no navy, they have no air force, they have no equipment, they have no lookouts, they have no air defenses, they have no radar, and all their leaders have been eliminated - at all levels."
