U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday "this war in Israel-Iran should end," with his comments coming in a social media post on his call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The president told me he was optimistic about ending foreign wars—then he ended our conversation to take a call from Putin.

"Giving up entirely," Trump told reporters early on Tuesday. "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it's very simple." The air war between Iran and U.S. ally Israel - which began on Friday when Israel attacked Iran with airstrikes - has raised alarms in a region that had already been on edge since the start of Israel's military assault on Gaza in October 2023.

Trump the so-called dealmaker has fallen flat on his face. His arrogance and incompetence continue to risk more war and peoples’ lives.
