Trump Claims Iran Faces Financial Collapse and Seeks to Keep Strait of Hormuz Open
President Trump stated that Iran is facing a severe financial crisis and losing 500 million dollars every day.

He noted that Iranian military and police forces are reportedly not receiving their pay due to the lack of funds.
News reports highlighted these assertions as part of an ongoing diplomatic standoff between the two nations. Trump suggested that the country is starving for cash and desperate for the maritime route to remain functional. These claims come as the U.S. monitors Iranian economic stability and its impact on regional maritime security.
