President Donald Trump has insisted that he doesn’t want the U.S. to get involved in a war with Iran, and he’s insisted that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon.

On Wednesday in the Oval Office, Trump conceded that he may not be able to have it both ways.

“I’m not looking to fight. But if it’s a choice between fighting and them having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do,” he said.

At another point, Trump said “you may have to fight.”

00:00Have you seen the Tucker Carlson, Senator Ted Cruz interview?
00:04It seems like this issue on whether or not the United States should strike is kind of dividing a lot of your supporters.
00:09My supporters don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon.
00:13Tucker's a nice guy. He called and apologized the other day because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong.
00:20And I appreciated that. And Ted Cruz is a nice guy. I mean, he's been with me for a long time.
00:25I'd say once the race was over, he's been with me ever since, right?
00:28But very simple. If they think that it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, then they should oppose me.
00:38But nobody thinks it's okay. People that don't want — I don't want to fight either. I'm not looking to fight.
00:43But if it's a choice between fighting and them having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do.
00:50Maybe we won't have to fight. Don't forget, we haven't been fighting.
00:54They have to come in legally. And if they come in legally, we want them. They have to say they love America. They love our —
01:00And it's interesting because I did ask Tucker. I said, well, are you okay with nuclear weapons being in the hands of Iran?
01:08And he sort of didn't like that. He didn't want to really — but he sort of didn't like that.
01:12And I said, well, if it's okay with you, then you and I do have a difference.
01:18But it's really not okay with him. Therefore, you may have to fight. And maybe it'll end. And maybe it'll end very quickly.
01:26But there's no way that you can allow — whether you have to fight or not — you can allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
01:32Because the entire world will blow up. I'm not going to let that happen.
01:36Mr. President, you had a bit of a row with President Emmanuel Macron of France the other day, the G7, it sounded like.
01:42No, he's a nice guy. Look, he said I was going back home to make a ceasefire. Not a ceasefire. We're long beyond ceasefire.
01:53And I said, why do you say that? Why would you say ceasefire? It's a bad term to use.
01:58Because a ceasefire means, like, everything's going swimmingly. We'll take a little time off. It's not.
02:03We're not looking for a ceasefire. We're looking for a total, complete victory.
02:07Again, you know what the victory is. No nuclear weapon.
02:23So if you Tobias won't let go.
02:24No nuclear weapon.
02:25It disappears.
02:26No nuclear weapon but Pokemon
