Trump's claim: We should get more points from Iran than from Venezuela In an interview with Fox News, the President of the United States claimed: I am not looking to kill a large number of people in Iran after the election, but if we have to, we will do whatever it takes. What is happening with Iran is not a war in the traditional sense and we are in full control of the situation. We can destroy what remains of Iran's capabilities, but we can also prevent thousands of deaths. We are constantly monitoring Iran's nuclear facilities, and if anyone tries to reach them, we will attack them again.
