Trump again stuns Bibi: After taking back warplanes, POTUS says Iran can keep few ballistic missiles

Published on Jun 18, 2026 01:41 pm IST

U.S. President Donald Trump has defended allowing Iran to retain part of its ballistic missile arsenal, arguing that conventional missiles are different from nuclear weapons and that other countries in the region possess similar capabilities. His remarks come amid conflicting assessments of Iran’s remaining military strength after recent U.S. and Israeli strikes. While U.S. officials claim Iran’s missile production capacity has been severely degraded, reports suggest Tehran may still retain a significant portion of its missile stockpile. Iran continues to insist that its missile program is non-negotiable and remains central to its national defense strategy.
