US President Donald Trump says Iran still has about “21, 22 percent” of its missiles left, according to reports from Nigeria, Malaysia, and India. The statement comes amid renewed regional missile activity, with one report describing a week in which Iran fires dozens of missiles toward neighboring countries while a ceasefire is described as sputtering.
The outlets note that Trump’s latest percentage is higher than an earlier figure he gave in May. Free Malaysia Today and The Hindu both report that the “22%” claim is above the 18% Trump previously stated, while the other outlets repeat the “22%” assertion without adding new sourcing or additional details beyond the comparison.
Across the coverage, the focus remains on Trump’s updated estimate of Iran’s remaining missile stockpile and how it compares with his earlier public assessment. None of the summaries provide independent verification of the percentage or explain the methodology behind the estimate.
