US President ‌Donald Trump on Wednesday said he did not think a full-fledged conflict ​with Iran would erupt ​in the wake of military strikes ⁠from both sides.

“I don’t think ​it’s going to start again. I ​think it’s going to go very quickly. They hit a couple of ships, ​and so we hit them ​much harder,” Trump told reporters in Ankara ‌after ⁠a NATO summit.

“Anything that happens is going to be over very quickly … and will only make ​it safer, ​including ⁠for oil,” he said.

The US president also reiterated his previous ​comments that he was ​a ⁠target of Tehran.

“I’m number one on the kill list for Iran,” ⁠he ​said.

Earlier, Trump warned Iran that the United States will likely ​engage in additional strikes on Wednesday night after ‌attacks of previous day.

“I’ll give a little warning: We’re going to hit them hard tonight,” Trump told reporters at the NATO summit in ​Turkiye.
