President Trump told reporters early Tuesday he was seeking "a real end" to the brewing conflict between Israel and Iran.

"I’m not looking for a ceasefire, we’re looking at better than a ceasefire," Trump said aboard Air Force One as he flew back from the Group of Seven (G7) summit a day early.

The president said he was looking for "an end, a real end, not a ceasefire, a real end.” He later described what he was seeking as a "complete give-up" by Iran.

“I think they’re know not to touch our troops," he said of Iran, warning the U.S. would be "gloves off" in its response.
