Iran still has “21, 22%” of its missiles left, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday (June 5, 2026), in a week in which Tehran fired dozens of them toward regional neighbors, despite a sputtering ceasefire.
“They still have capacity. They have some missiles, they have some drones. I would say, percentage wise, maybe 21, 22% of their missiles,” Mr. Trump told NBC News in an interview.
That figure for Iran’s missile stockpile is higher than one of 18% Mr. Trump gave in May. He has often claimed to have completely destroyed Iran’s war-fighting capacity.
Iran’s military said on Friday (June 5, 2026) it had fired “warning missiles” at two U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Oman — a claim promptly denied by the U.S. military. Two days earlier, Kuwait said it had intercepted 30 ballistic missiles fired as part of “heinous Iranian aggression.”
