"We wiped out everything that existed," Trump: We eliminated

" Almost all of Iran has been destroyed ," US President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House on Wednesday.

" They've lost their navy, they've lost their air power; they've lost their radar; all their leaders are dead. And we can do worse ," Trump stressed.

He added that the US has hit Iran harder than any other country in history. However, he asserted that they are not done with the Islamic Republic yet.

Earlier, the president also commented on reports that Iran has placed anti-ship mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

" If something like this has happened, and we have no signals about it, it must remove them immediately. Otherwise, the military consequences for Iran will be unprecedented ," he stressed. According to CNN, the US military has placed at least 12 mines in the waters of Hormuz. 

" We took a little field trip. We had to take a couple of weeks of field trips, but it's been incredible. Our military is incredible. We've taken down their navy, their military in every form. We've taken down almost everything there is, including their leadership, twice. We took down their leadership twice, and now they have a new group coming in. Let's see what happens to them. The market is holding up well. I think it was going to be hit a little bit, but we were hit probably less than I thought and we're going to get back on track pretty quickly. Prices are going down pretty significantly. Oil is going to go down, it's just a matter of war; it happens, you can almost predict it. I would say it went up a little bit less than we thought. It's going to go down more than anyone realizes. But think about it, they had thousands of missiles, seven or eight thousand missiles. They had drones everywhere. We're destroying drone facilities. As "You know, we're going fast. They started talking about mines, so we hit 28 mine ships as of this moment, 28, using the same weapon, the exact same weapon that we use against drug dealers on the water ," Trump said.
