US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claims that Iran’s leadership is in disarray, saying that they are “fighting like cats and dogs”.

“We’ve created a real mess for them, but they’ve created a mess for the world over the last 47 years,” he tells reporters in the Oval Office of the White House.

“We’ve taken out their military, we’ve hit about 75 per cent of our targets — we stopped a little early because they wanted to have some peace — and we have a blockade that’s 100pc effective,” Trump adds.

Stating that Iran is unable to do business because of the blockade, Trump says Iran wants to make a deal.

“We have been speaking to them, but they don’t even know who’s leading the country. They’re in turmoil,” he says.
