US President Donald Trump said he could use military force against Iran with "no hesitation" if Washington's ships and allies are threatened.

During an interview with the Salem News Channel, the US president was asked whether he would hesitate to use force to stop Iran from "terrorising our allies and our ships,".

"No hesitation. We’re doing very well with it right now," Trump answered. "But the answer is, if I saw things going the other way, I would do that, and it’s possible I would do it right now."

Trump claimed the US has suffered no losses in recent months, despite reports and official figures indicating that over a dozen soldiers have died as a result of the war on Iran.

"We haven’t lost a soldier in five months, and we control the Gulf... Totally control it," he said.
