Speaking at a press conference at the White House on Friday, Mr Trump said he would "without question" consider bombing Iran again.
The president went on to praise the B-2 bomber pilots who carried out the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities last weekend.
"Our incredible flyers - I call them the shots - these guys are unbelievable."
"From 52,000 feet they hit the equivalent of a refrigerator door. They actually hit it right in the centre, so it's much smaller than that."
Asked earlier in the press conference if he believed Iran had given up its ambitions to build nuclear weapons, Mr Trump reiterated his claim that Iranian nuclear sites had been "obliterated" in the attacks and added that "I don't believe that they're gonna go back into nuclear any time soon."

In a speech on Thursday, Iran's Supreme Leader said the US president had "exaggerated" the damage to the nuclear facilities and that the strikes "did not accomplish anything significant."
However, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi admitted on Thursday evening that "excessive and serious" damage was done to the country's nuclear facilities by the US strikes.
In a post on Truth Social on Friday evening, the US President reacted to the ayatollah's speech on Thursday, writing: "Why would the so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie?"
The post claims that the US knew "exactly" where Iran's leader was hiding and that he had prevented Israel and the US military from "terminating" the ayatollah's life.
The president also wrote that he was "working on the possible removal of sanctions", but "immediately dropped all work on sanction relief" after hearing the ayatollah's "statement of anger, hatred, and disgust."
Iran has denied that nuclear talks will resume with the US, after Mr Trump said at a Nato summit on Wednesday that negotiations were set to begin again next week.
