On TV, Trump confesses us army in trouble; IRGC's missiles far from over?

Published on Jun 06, 2026 06:11 pm IST

Donald Trump has acknowledged that Iran still retains roughly 21–22% of its missile arsenal despite months of U.S. and Israeli military strikes. Speaking to NBC News, Trump said most of Iran’s missile production, drone facilities and launch infrastructure had been destroyed, but admitted Tehran still possesses a significant number of missiles and drones. The remarks come amid renewed U.S.-Iran tensions, repeated military exchanges across the region, and ongoing debate over whether Washington can sustain a prolonged confrontation while pursuing a potential diplomatic agreement with Tehran.
