DONALD Trump has celebrated his blitz on Iran again as he described US bombs as going through enemy nuclear sites "like absolute butter".
The proud president has been on a week long victory lap since he dropped 12 30,000lb bunker busting bombs on Tehran.

The US joined Israel on decimating Iran's key nuclear facilities on June 21.
Trump hailed the strikes at the time and said they obliterated their targets as planned despite some claiming the hits were less successful than first thought.
Three sites were reportedly hit including the main target - the Fordlow nuke plant.
Tehran has admitted since that Operation Midnight Hammer and the joint Israeli attacks did cause "excessive and serious" damage.
Speaking this morning with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Trump said the bombs easily performed as expected.
He explained: "The bomb went through it, like it was butter, like it was absolute butter.
"It was obliterated like nobody's ever seen before. And that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions at least for a period of time."
Trump also hit out again as those who had tried to say his strikes have only set back Iran's nuclear development program a few months rather than years.
A leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report first casted doubt on President Trump's "obliterated" claim.
The report, published by CNN and The New York Times, claimed they did not destroy Iran's nuclear capability by any genuine means.

Others had speculated online that Iran had been trying to remove the enriched uranium from the base so they could rebuild their operations once the US left.
The preliminary report even stated that Iran had managed to shift much of the uranium safely out - a claim Trump and US officials vehemently deny.
Responding to those claims, a defiant Trump said: "A lot of people have said, well, 'do you think they're going to start again?'
"I said, the last thing they want to do right now is think about nuclear. They have to put themselves back into condition, in shape."
The war in the Middle East lasted just 12 days as it quickly turned into a major conflict when Trump decided to strike the Iranian nuclear sites.
The attacks helped to end the war, according to Trump, with both Israel and Iran quickly declaring they had won the fight afterwards.
Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, claimed victory over Israel and America despite his country being hammered for almost two weeks.
The supreme leader ludicrously claimed Iran had almost crushed Israel and the government in Tel Aviv was on the verge of collapse.
That's despite the IDF controlling the skies over Tehran, assassinating dozens of top generals and nuclear scientists, and destroying dozens of valuable missile batteries in just 12 days of fighting.
Even with a ceasefire being agreed upon, Trump made it clear he would "absolutely" consider bombing Iran again if it was ever needed.
He told reporters in the White House he would "without question" attack the country if US intelligence pointed towards Iran enriching uranium to concerning levels.
It comes as Iran held a funeral for the commanders wiped out in the war.
The event was severely plagued by "Death to America" chants and the burning of Israeli flags across the day.
