Trump tells ABC war with Iran 'should end in days, not weeks'

Apr 5, 2026, 18:39 GMT+1

US President Donald Trump said the war with Iran should be over “in days, not weeks” and warned of severe consequences if it continues, in an interview with ABC News.

“It should be days, not weeks,” Trump said.

“It should be wrapped up in days because no sane group of people could stand the punishment that's going to rain down on them if it's not,” he added.

Trump also said he does not believe US ground troops are necessary at this stage but did not rule out the possibility.

“I don't think it's necessary but I don't rule anything out,” he said.
