Trump Rejects Ceasefire, Demands Iran Abandon Nuclear Program as Tensions Soar
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
(Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald Trump made clear Monday night that he is not seeking a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but rather a permanent end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Speaking as he departed the G7 summit in Canada, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he wants a “real end” to the nuclear issue — with Iran “giving up entirely” on its nuclear program.
“I have not reached out to Iran for peace talks in any way, shape, or form,” Trump said, blasting media reports suggesting otherwise as “HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS.” He added, “If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table — would have saved a lot of lives!”
The president said he preferred to return to Washington so he could be “well updated” in person at the White House rather than relying on calls while abroad. He confirmed he would enter the White House situation room Tuesday morning to monitor developments in the Middle East as Israel continues its military campaign against Iran.
French President Emmanuel Macron had claimed Trump left the G7 early to work on a ceasefire, but Trump dismissed that as false, writing on Truth Social: “Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!”
When asked about dispatching U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance for potential talks with Iran, Trump said, “I may — it depends what happens when I get back.”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ABC News that taking out Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would not escalate tensions, but rather “end the conflict.” This comes amid reports that Trump previously vetoed such a plan out of escalation concerns — a suggestion Netanyahu brushed aside.
Trump echoed confidence that Israel would press ahead with its military operations. “You’re going to find out over the next two days… Nothing’s slowed up so far,” he remarked.
Despite his hardline stance, Trump eventually signed a G7 statement urging restraint, diplomacy, and de-escalation between Israel and Iran, while affirming Israel’s right to self-defense and declaring Iran the principal source of regional instability.
As Trump returned to Washington, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president was addressing “many important matters.” Reports indicated the National Security Council and Pentagon were on high alert late Monday, as Washington weighs its next moves amid rising tensions in the region.
