US President Donald Trump gestures as he talks during a press briefing in the Brady Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, DC, shortly after a shooting incident at the White House
Despite a sputtering ceasefire, Iran still has “21, 22 per cent” of its missiles left, US President Donald Trump declared Friday, in a week in which Tehran fired dozens of them at regional rivals.
They have capacity. They have a few rockets. They have a few drones. “I would say, percentage wise, maybe 21, 22 percent of their missiles,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News.
That amount of Iran’s missile stockpile is higher than the 18 percent Trump provided in May. He’s often said he’s made Iran’s ability to fight a war absolutely useless.
Iran’s military said Friday it had fired “warning missiles” on two US destroyers in the Gulf of Oman, a claim the US military quickly refuted. Two days before Kuwait reported it had intercepted 30 ballistic missiles in what it called a “heinous Iranian aggression.”
