Trump says Iran is getting its 'ass kicked' in war with US

President Donald Trump says Iran is getting its "ass kicked" in the war against the U.S. on Monday.

Trump told "Fox & Friends" that Iran's navy, air force and missile capabilities have all been virtually annihilated, going on to list Iranian leaders who have been killed in the conflict.

The U.S. is continuing to carry out strikes against Iranian targets through Monday after Trump declares a ceasefire with Iran to be "over" this weekend.

"We're taking over the straight. They have nothing. They've got nothing. So, something that nobody knows. Yesterday they had an 11 hour meeting. Everything's 11 hours with these guys. You know, you can't settle in one sentence and one hour and one minute. It should be one minute. And everything was agreed to yesterday. And they leave the room and they call back and they say we had to make a couple of changes," Trump said.

"We're not going to make changes. Always changes. They just, you know, they're professional negotiators. That's all they are. I don't even call them good at it. They haven't gotten anything, they've got nothing from me. But if you look for 47 years they've been tapping people along, presidents. Every president got tapped along, didn't do anything, and they became more and more powerful," he added.

US military conducts new wave of strikes against Iran, CENTCOM says

The U.S. conducted a new wave of offensive strikes against Iran on Sunday, according to Central Command.

The strikes hit dozens of targets at multiple locations with "precision munitions to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international shipping flowing through the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM said on X.

"CENTCOM forces struck Iranian military air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats using U.S. fighter aircraft, naval vessels, one-way attack aerial drones, and one-way attack sea drones for the first time," CENTCOM said.

The military added that the Strait of Hormuz is a "vital maritime corridor for global trade" and that Iran does not control it.

"U.S. forces are postured and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available to commercial shipping despite Iran’s continued unwarranted aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declarations," CENTCOM said.

Fox News' Landon Mion contributed to this report.
