President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended the agreement he reached with Iran not including restrictions on its supply of ballistic missiles.

A Trump administration official on Wednesday read the terms of the agreement to reporters. It did not feature any terms limiting Iran's conventional missile arsenal. The administration has repeatedly touted its depletion of Iran's missile stockpile as a focal point for claiming victory.

Trump, for his part, contended that Iran needed to be able to maintain its missile supply in light of the abundant military stockpiles held by other nations in the region.

"I mean, they have to have some, because other people have some. You got to have some," he said to reporters, before referencing Saudi Arabia's own stockpile.

"Missiles, they hurt a little location, but they don’t blow up the planet," he added. "Missiles aren't the problem."

The agreement has attracted backlash in Israel, with senior officials openly calling on the Netanyahu government to ignore its terms. On the domestic side, pro-Israel advocates have similarly criticized the agreement over apparent concessions to Tehran.
