US President Donald Trump on Friday said that America is "completely destroying the terrorist regime in Iran militarily, economically and in every other way". 

He said that "Iran's leaders have been wiped off the face of the earth," adding that "the Iranian navy has been destroyed, the air force no longer exists, and their missiles, drones, and everything they own are being annihilated," as he put it.

Trump said "the Iranian regime has been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years,” adding that the United States has “unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time,” and warning Iran to “watch what will happen.”
