The comments came during a three-minute phone call Monday morning with PBS News' Liz Landers, while the president was attending what he described as a “very important meeting” on the Iran war.

Also:

“I didn’t want to hit the pipes because, you know, years of work to put them together,” he added. “It’s dead militarily now, totally. Every military area … they’ve fled.”

And

Trump said by phone Monday that “the oil prices will drop like a rock” as soon as the war is over.

When asked by PBS News when exactly that would be, Trump said, “Well, as soon as the war is over and it won’t … I don’t believe it will be long.”

    No one involved in this wants those refineries to be damaged. Damaging them would be a sure fire way to make sure oil prices don’t drop once this is over. Iran will call this bluff.

      Having the place rigged with explosives might be an option.
