Trump, 'a sort of war that could degenerate with Iran, excellent chances of an agreement'

We dealt a heavy blow by destroying their navy, 159 ships. But we cannot speak of a war in the traditional sense of the term. It's a kind of war, yes. It could escalate if they don't reach an agreement, but they long for an agreement. Donald Trump said this while speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, adding that "there are excellent chances of reaching an agreement. Of course, they would like to win. But the point is this: we act from a position of total strength. We can close the matter at any time. If I can reach an agreement, I prefer to do it: it would save many lives".
