US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the US military wiped out Iran’s navy and air force.

“Their navy’s wiped out. Their air force is all gone after three days. Their military was virtually wiped out,” he said.

“Now we have to make a determination — do we sign a deal or we do it the other way. And the other way is not nice,” he added.

Asked what the “other way” would achieve, Trump responded that it would give “certainty” of the war being over.

“But I’d rather do it the nice way from a humanitarian standpoint,” the US president added.
