Trump says Iran will be allowed to have missiles as part of peace deal: ‘They don’t blow up the planet’ | 17 June 2026 | In a stunning departure from decades of established U.S. foreign policy, President Donald Trump revealed that a forthcoming peace agreement with Iran will likely allow the country to retain its conventional ballistic missiles. Standing before reporters at the G7 meeting in France, the President argued that a complete ban is unrealistic because “they got to have some.” “What am I going to do? Am I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles, but they can’t have them?” Trump said during the briefing. “Missiles aren’t the problem. They hurt a little location, but they don’t blow up the planet.” The President also said that he might stick around for the signing of the memorandum on Friday, but added that it “might not be the kind of document” he should sign.
