As tensions between the United States and Iran increase, Sen. Mitt Romney on Sunday expressed confidence that war with the Middle Eastern country would be averted.

"Going to war with Iran, not going to happen," the Utah Republican, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

"I don’t believe for a minute that either the president or John Bolton or, frankly, anyone else in a serious senior position of leadership in the White House has any interest in going to the Middle East and going to war," Romney continued.

The New York Times reported last week that President Donald Trump was considering sending as many as 120,000 troops to the Middle East after U.S. intelligence suggested Iran might be planning attacks on American people and facilities in the region.

The president dismissed the report, adding he would send “a hell of a lot more troops than that” if he decided to get more aggressive with Iran.
