Trump Says Iran Left with Just 21–22% of Its Missile Arsenal
US President Donald Trump told NBC News that months of military exchanges have reduced Iran’s missile stockpile to around 21–22 percent. He acknowledged Iran still has some missiles and drones, but said its overall capability has been significantly harmed. This new estimate is slightly higher than the 18 percent figure he cited in May. Despite efforts at a fragile ceasefire, tensions in the Gulf remain high. Iran’s military claimed it fired warning missiles at two US destroyers in the Gulf of Oman, a claim the US military has dismissed. Earlier this week, Kuwait said it intercepted 30 ballistic missiles, describing the launches as “heinous Iranian aggression.” These developments underscore ongoing concerns over regional security and the risk of renewed hostilities.
