US MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR POTENTIAL GROUND TROOPS IN IRAN: CBS

德国总理默茨：周末将与美国总统特朗普通电话。

President Donald Trump said Friday at the White House that he does not want a ceasefire in Iran, stating, “You don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side.” He expressed confidence the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for roughly a fifth of global oil and gas flows, will reopen “itself” despite reluctance from NATO allies and China to assist. Trump criticized allies for lacking “the courage” to help unblock the strait.
