Trump Defends Letting Iran Maintain Missile Arsenal Amid Deal

President Trump defended the decision to allow Iran to keep its large arsenal of ballistic missiles while discussing the emerging deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This stance contrasts with previous administrations that sought to dismantle such capabilities, raising questions about the long-term security posture of the region. The broader implication is a potential normalization of Iran's military threat without addressing the root causes of its aggression.
