US President Donald Trump has stated that his country’s military "totally destroyed" Iran's military capabilities following intensified operations in the region.
In recent remarks, Trump highlighted significant degradation of Iranian forces, including the navy, air force, and missile infrastructure.
According to Trump, Iran retains approximately 21% to 22% of its missile inventory.
"That's a lot of missiles," he noted, while emphasizing that the majority of launch platforms, drone factories, and manufacturing areas have been neutralized.
Trump attributed Iran's hesitation to finalize a US deal to the character of its leadership.
"They haven't agreed because they're strong, they're proud," he observed.
Nevertheless, he maintained that Tehran ultimately has "no choice" but to reach an agreement, given the diminished state of its military assets and the strategic pressures it faces.
The comments reflect the current phase of US-Iran dynamics, which include demands for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping, the elimination of Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions, and the secure removal or destruction of highly enriched uranium stockpiles.
Negotiations continue amid a fragile ceasefire framework, with Trump expressing confidence in achieving a resolution.
US intelligence assessments have presented a more nuanced picture, suggesting Iran retains a notable portion of its pre-conflict missile capabilities despite heavy losses.
