US President Donald Trump said Iran still possesses a significant portion of its missile stockpile despite months of conflict and military exchanges across the region.

Speaking to NBC News on Friday, Trump estimated that Tehran retains roughly 21 to 22 percent of its missile arsenal. "They still have capacity. They have some missiles, they have some drones. I would say, percentage wise, maybe 21, 22 percent of their missiles," Trump said. His latest estimate is higher than the 18 percent figure he provided in May.
