Trump seeks to deliver swift, decisive blow to Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump is against waging a prolonged war in Iran even as he would want any military action to deliver a swift and decisive blow to the Islamic Republic "if he does something," NBC News reported, citing sources.

According to them, the U.S. leader conveyed those plans to his national security team. Still, Trump’s advisers doubt the Iranian regime would "quickly collapse" after a U.S. military strike, the sources said.

There is also concern that the United States may not have enough assets to guard against a potential "aggressive Iranian response," the sources added.
