Smith on Thursday, Trump argued that they had hit Iran "very hard" and had already destroyed its land, air and naval forces, and said, "The reason we are still in this war is because the people we are trying to protect, which includes Israel, that is, mainly the people in the Middle East, prefer me to act the way I am doing now. (The war) I could have ended it right away, but at the request of the nations I am trying to protect, we are continuing it a little longer, a little more civilized."
