WASHINGTON

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Washington has inflicted devastating military damage on Iran and warned that American operations could continue.

"We have hit them harder than virtually any country in history has been hit, and we're not finished yet," Trump told the reporters.

Asked what additional military steps might be needed for the operation to end, the president suggested the current strategy would continue.

"More of the same and we'll see how that all comes out. ... They've lost their navy. They've lost their air force, ... their leaders are gone. ... We could do a lot worse," he said.

When asked if he is concerned about a domestic terror attack by Iran, Trump replied, "No."

"I don’t want to comment on that," he said when asked if he could declare victory in this war if the supreme leader remains Ayatollah’s son.

Previously, regarding Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Trump said he was "disappointed." "Because we think it's going to lead to just more of the same problem for the country. So, I was disappointed to see their choice," he added.
