Trump said Tehran had taken too long to negotiate a deal and would now have to pay the price, without giving specific details.
He said Iran had been completely defeated and was all talk and no action.
It came after Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier warned his country would leave no attack or threat unanswered, saying the US had suffered defeats on the battlefield.
The US said it struck Iranian sites on Wednesday after a US army helicopter was downed in the Gulf.
In response Iran launched strikes at US bases in the region.
Iranian defence systems, ground control stations, and radar sites were targeted near the Strait of Hormuz, the US Military Central Command said.

Writing on Truth Social on Wednesday Trump said Iran’s military is a complete and total mess.
He claimed much of it like their navy and air force does not even exist anymore and they have been completely defeated.
He added that they have taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them and now they will have to pay the price.
Trump’s comments were in sharp contrast to Tuesday when he told journalists the US and Iran were in the final throes of what will be a very very good deal.
Also on Wednesday Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqai accused the US of damaging the diplomatic process through contradictory messages, repeated shifts in positions and demands, and worst of all through repeated violations of the Ceasefire.
He said Iran needed to re-assess the situation, adding that any diplomatic process requires a minimum of stability.
