Trump claims Iran has '22 per cent' of missiles left
Trump said Iran has 21% to 22% of its missiles left, while U.S. intelligence briefings reportedly put the remaining stockpile near 70 percent.
- 0 In an interview with NBC News's Meet the Press, President Trump stated that intense U.S. and allied military strikes have heavily degraded Tehran's inventory, leaving Iran with roughly 21% to 22% of its original missile capacity.
- Trump attributed this sharp decline to the systematic targeting of Iran's production capabilities, asserting that the vast majority of Iranian drone factories, launch pads, and missile manufacturing facilities have been effectively "knocked out."
- Despite highlighting the severe degradation of Iran's military capacity, Trump conceded that the remaining fifth of the stockpile still represents "a lot of missiles" and notes that Tehran retains the capacity and willpower to strike back.
- Trump's optimistic assessment which he used to suggest the war is "largely finished" and nearing an end directly contrasts with leaked, confidential assessments from the CIA, which suggest Iran actually retains closer to 70% of its pre-war missile stockpile due to heavily fortified underground facilities.
