US President Donald Trump claimed Iran is facing a severe financial crisis, losing $500 million daily amid a Strait of Hormuz blockade. He said Tehran is under internal pressure and privately pushing to reopen the route despite public defiance. Trump extended a fragile ceasefire, though Iran and Israel have not confirmed support, keeping tensions high.
Washington, DC: US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran is undergoing a severe financial crisis, asserting that the country is "collapsing financially" as tensions continue to simmer in the region.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Tehran is "starving for cash" and is allegedly "losing 500 Million Dollars a day." He further stated that the Iranian leadership is under significant internal pressure, with the "Military and Police complaining that they are not getting paid."
The US President's remarks come amidst an ongoing maritime standoff, with Trump claiming that the Iranian authorities "want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately." The strategic waterway has been a focal point of recent geopolitical friction, impacting global energy corridors and maritime trade.
Trump further highlighted the deteriorating domestic situation in Iran, describing the state of affairs as an "SOS!!!" scenario. These assertions appear to be part of the administration's broader strategy to highlight the impact of the current economic and naval blockade on Tehran's operational capabilities.
