Trump: Iran still has 21%-22% of its missile stockpile

US President Donald Trump says Iran still had 21% to 22% of its missiles left, in an interview with NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”

“Most of the drone factories have been knocked out, most of the launching pads have been knocked out and most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out,” he says. “But they still have capacity. They have some missiles, they have some drones. I would say percentage wise, maybe 21-22% of their missiles. It’s a lot of missiles, but it’s not what it was when we first attacked.”

Asked why Iran hasn’t yet agreed to a deal despite his claim they are “begging” for an agreement, he says, “it’s a very hard thing for them.”

“They’re strong, they’re proud, there are things that they never thought they’d be doing that they will have to do, they’ve got no choice,” Trump says. “Vietnam lasted 19 years, I’m into my third month.”
