According to a report by Fox News, on Thursday April 30, 2026, United States of America President Donald J. Trump delivered a high-stakes update on the military conflict with Iran today, asserting that the United States has successfully knocked out about 80% of the regime’s missile-making facilities.
Speaking from the Oval Office, where he was joined by Artemis II astronauts, the President emphasized that while significant damage has been done, the remaining infrastructure could be targeted if Tehran refuses to negotiate a new deal.
“A small percentage of missile making facilities remain,” President Trump stated. “We knocked out about 80% of them and the rest could come very quickly if we don’t make a deal.”
Reaffirming a central pillar of his administration’s foreign policy, he added a definitive warning regarding the regime’s nuclear ambitions: “They are not going to have a nuclear weapon.”
