President Trump has quelled the rumors that the United States is about to get into a long-term war with Iran.

While speaking to the press, the 47th President was told by a reporter that the MAGA base is afraid the United States is about to get into a long-term war with Iran.

President Trump, in response, quickly assured the reporter and his supporters that the United States would not be getting into a long-term war with Iran.

However, the 47th President noted that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

MSN had more details to report:

President Donald Trump downplayed any divisions within the MAGA movement over potential U.S. strikes on Iran.
Opponents of U.S. involvement in Israel’s strikes on Iran say it cuts against Trump’s “America First” philosophy, and that time and money should be focused on domestic priorities instead of bogging America down in more foreign wars.

But advocates say eradicating the Iranian nuclear threat and weakening the regime is in America’s national interests because Tehran is a significant destabilizing force in the Middle East, where the United States has key allies and partners, such as Israel and Qatar.

Trump told reporters on Wednesday morning that “we’re not looking for long-term war.”

“I only want one thing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I’m not looking long-term, short-term,” Trump said.

“So I may have some people that are a little bit unhappy now, but I have some people that are very happy, and I have some people outside of the base that can’t believe this is happening, they’re so happy.”

Trump said he has been consistent in his message on Iran for 20 years.

Per The Independent:

Donald Trump has declined to answer questions over whether he will bomb Iran, saying he “may do it”.
Speaking to reporters from the White House lawn, Trump said Iran has “got a lot of trouble” and signalled that he was open to joining Israel in its aerial campaign against Tehran.

“I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran’s got a lot of trouble,” he said.

Earlier, Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei warned there would be “serious, irreparable consequences” if the US joined Israel in its bombing campaign.
The religious leader issued the warning in a public, televised address on Wednesday morning, adding that Iran will not be forced to surrender.

Israel and Iran have exchanged missile attacks for nearly a week after tensions escalated last Friday. Hundreds of people have died in Iran and dozens in Israel as a result.
