Trump says any U.S. war with Iran would not last long

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that any war between the United States and Iran would be swift, although he reiterated his desire to avoid a military confrontation.

"I hope we don't but we're in a very strong position if something should happen," Trump told Fox Business Network when asked if a war was brewing. "I'm not talking boots on the ground ... I'm just saying if something would happen, it wouldn't last very long."
