President Donald Trump said Wednesday that if an agreement wasn’t reached with Iran, the United States could have continued the war for up to another two years, APA reports citing CNN.

“If we didn’t do this deal, we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years,” Trump said.

Trump made the comments at a news conference at the G7 summit in France, forecasting a dire situation if the two sides weren’t able to strike a bargain to end the war.

While Trump signaled he was willing to continue the bombing — and could resume it if the next phase of talks collapse — many in his administration have been eager to resolve the conflict, CNN previously reported.

“We want to get this thing over with,” one administration official directly involved in the talks previously told CNN.
