• Later said the fight with Iran "is not even a contest" and no force on earth can beat America's military.
The president mentioned Iran multiple times though out his remarks and brought up other policy issues such as his support for a transgender athlete ban.
POTUS exited at 11:28 am; he didn't appear to answer opening questions.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - In-town Pool Report #2: POTUS arrival/brief Iran remarks
At 10:51 am the midshipmen filed into the East Room. A minute later, the president entered at 10:52 am.
He began his remarks by saying the US is "doing extremely well in Iran" and won't let Iran have nuclear weapons.
Spotted inside the event, thanks to eagle-eyed reporters around me: Rep. Derrick Van Orden and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
