(FOX NEWS) — President Donald Trump told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he “didn’t underestimate anything” when it comes to the war against Iran.

The comment came after Baier asked Trump in an interview, “Did you underestimate the pain tolerance that Iran has for this?”

“I didn’t underestimate anything. We hit them unbelievably hard. Look, we left their bridges. We left their electricity capacity. We can knock that all out in two days. Two days. Everything. We left Kharg Island, other than, I said ‘hit it except for the valves where the oil comes out.’ Because when you hit that, that means you’re going to lose a little oil. But one thing is happening. Amazingly, ships are floating up to Texas and Louisiana, and they’re going to Alaska, and they’re loading up with oil like we’ve never seen before,” Trump said.

Tensions remain high in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, with the U.S. trying to broker a long-term peace agreement with the regime in Tehran.

“Americans want to know when it’s over though, right?” Baier also asked Trump.

“Yeah look, Vietnam lasted 19 years. Iraq was like ten years. Korea was seven years. Another one was 14 years. Another one was 12 years. Another one was nine years,” Trump responded. “We’re in there for two and a half months. The other thing they talk about. So, we lost tens of thousands of soldiers in Vietnam, we lost tens of thousands of soldiers in practically every war. I’ve lost, and I wish we’d lost none because I know those parents. I spoke to ‘em, lost 13 soldiers in two wars.”
