US President Donald Trump said he doesn’t think Iran war is “going to start again” despite doubts cast over ceasefire resiliency.

“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. When they hit, we hit 10 times harder, you know. We hit much harder than they do,” he said when asked whether the war would resume at a press conference in Ankara, Turkey.

He did not say he was backing down on his threat to strike Iran again, saying “we use their language.”

“I think anything that happens is going to be over very quickly, and we’ll only … make it safer, including for oil; oil is going to be very free, very easy, and easy, and it’s going to happen very fast,” he said, adding, “we’re not looking for long-term.”

The remarks are a slightly more positive tone than when he earlier said the memorandum of understanding he signed with Iran three weeks ago was “over.”
