Trump says 'not looking to kill lots of people' in Iran US President Donald Trump has said that he is "not looking to kill lots of people" in Iran, following what he described as a "minor attack" on Qeshm Island rather than a resumption of war. "Look, I'm not looking to, you know, kill lots of people, but if we have to, we'll have to," Trump told Fox News. "We have them totally where we want. We could finish them off, or we could be nice and let thousands of people live that would get killed in a war," he said.
