Trump Claims Iran Retains Only 22 Percent of Its Missile Arsenal
On June 3, 2026, US President Donald Trump addressed the press in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, amidst heightened tensions with Iran, which had launched dozens of missiles toward neighboring countries despite a fragile ceasefire.
nTrump revealed to NBC News that Iran's missile arsenal still comprises "21, 22 percent" of its original capacity, indicating that the country retains significant military capabilities, including drones.
nThe US President noted that Iran's remaining missiles and drones give it considerable capacity, with the specified percentage suggesting a notable fraction of its original stockpile remains intact.
nTrump's latest estimate of 21, 22 percent is higher than the 18 percent figure he provided in May, contradicting his previous assertions that Iran's war-fighting capacity had been completely destroyed.
nIran's military claimed on Friday to have fired "warning missiles" at two US destroyers in the Gulf of Oman, a statement that was promptly disputed by the US military.
nKuwait reported intercepting 30 ballistic missiles fired by Iran two days prior, describing the incident as "heinous Iranian aggression".
