Donald Trump delivered a warning to Iran when pressed about what comes next after the midterm elections, noting that he's "not looking to kill lots of people," RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The 80-year-old president's answer came after it was revealed that the U.S. launched defensive strikes on Iranian targets despite Trump insisting that a deal with Tehran to end the war "could happen" after months of failed negotiations with the Islamic Regime.
'I'm Not Looking to Kill Lots of People'
Trump delivered a blunt response on the future of the war in Iran.
Trump was in the process of making a last-minute pitch to voters during a Tuesday, November 3, appearance on Fox & Friends when Lawrence Jones asked, "So, Mr. President, we know we had to take this detour because Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. It's been one of the greatest victories of this administration. What's going to happen after Election Day? What's the next move?"
"Well, we'll see. Look, I'm not looking to kill lots of people, but if we have to, we’ll have to. I’m not looking to do that,” he replied.
Trump also claimed the U.S. military had been keeping a close eye on an Iranian anti-aircraft facility for two months before launching a strike shortly after construction was completed, boasting that American forces hit the target "very nicely" last night.
'We're the Hottest Country in the World'
Trump declared that the U.S. is 'respected by everybody' since he retook the White House in 2024.
Trump may have been exhausted, making 30 campaign stops in 20 different states over the last few weeks in support of Republican candidates and crisscrossing the country nonstop.
When he initially talked over the phone to Fox, the tycoon began his final campaign pitch sounding unusually tired.
"We have to keep America great... we're the hottest country in the world; we're respected by everybody," he claimed, going on to cite the recent state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Trump went on to brag that Xi told him, "What you've done is amazing. The change, I've never seen anything like it."

Trump claimed Obama let in Muslim immigrants while turning away Christians.
Trump did nearly all of the talking, bouncing from topic to topic in the nearly 30-minute interview.
He circled back numerous times to the topic of illegal immigration when asked about the rise in anti-Semitism in the U.S., claiming that under President Barack "Hussein" Obama, "tremendous numbers of people came in who hate Jewish people and that it's become pervasive."
"It's a terrible thing...you see rallies with hundreds of thousands of people, and they're largely from the Middle East," he claimed. "This was let in by Barack Hussein Obama. If you were Christian, you couldn't come in. If you happened to be Muslim, he'd let you in."
