Trump said at his news conference that he’s not sure he wants to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Iran anymore now that the ceasefire has ended.
“We can play games, but I’m not sure I want to make a deal. Let’s just finish the job,” Trump said when asked what changed with the U.S. posture toward Iran.
“I’ll tell you what happens next,” Trump continued. “We’re never going to see Iran have a nuclear weapon, because that’s much more important than the numbers you’re talking about. The prices of oil are dropping like a rock now, they’ll be up a little bit, and this will end very quickly. “
Trump, however, said that the Iran war is not restarting.
“I don’t think it’s going to start again. I think it’s going to go very quickly,” he said. “They hit a couple of ships, and so we hit them much harder.”
“Somebody asked before, ‘Do you think you hit them tonight?’ I said, ‘We might. Yeah, we might,'” the president added.
