Trump says US 'doing very well' on Iran nearly 1 week into joint action against Tehran
Fox News
President Donald Trump says U.S. military has "wiped out" Iran's forces with its airstrikes, says he'd score operations '12 to 15' out of 10 in White House remarks.
The president made the remarks after Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked at the end of a White House college sports roundtable what was motivating Trump to hold the roundtable at that moment, "because there is a lot of other stuff going on in the world."
"That’s right," Trump agreed, adding that Iran’s air force has been "wiped out entirely. Think of it. They have 32 ships. All 32 are at the bottom of the ocean. Other than that, they're doing very well," he joked.
