President Donald Trump said on Dec. 31 he does not want war with Iran, hours after he said that Iran “will be held fully responsible” after an attack led by Iranian-backed militias on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trump dismissed concerns that tensions between the two countries could spiral into a war.
