WASHINGTON-President Trump on Friday said that the U.S. military is "doing extremely well in Iran" and that the Iranian navy is "all at the bottom of the sea."

"We have the greatest Navy anywhere in the world," Trump said during an event in the East Room of the White House. "We are doing really well, we're not going to let them have nuclear weapons, because if they had them, they'd use them."

The president also suggested that the U.S. could have seized Iranian ships instead of sinking them. "We could have used them ourselves," Trump said to laughs from the audience.
