Trump says Iran war will end 'when I want it to' as costs reportedly balloon to $47 billion

U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the Iran war will end "whenever I want it to," but insists that Tehran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Speaking at a rally in Lubbock, Texas, Trump said "Somebody asked me before, 'When will the war in Iran end?' I said, 'Whenever I want it to end.'" Trump said it "would be very quick, but we have to have an end properly ," with a "total statement" that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. His statement comes as the President grapples with poll numbers that are near a record low due to rising energy costs and affordability issues as the U.S. heads into the midterm elections on Nov. 3. Currently, Trump's approval ratings stand at 32%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Monday.
