US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran is in a serious financial crisis and is losing about $500 million a day .
In a series of posts on the social media site Truth Social , he said that Tehran is on the verge of economic collapse and is suffering from a cash shortage.
According to Trump, Iran is keen to reopen the Strait of Hormuz because of the growing loss of revenue due to the disruption of commercial activities there. At the same time, he claimed that there were problems in paying the salaries of members of the country’s military and law enforcement agencies.
However, there is no independently verifiable evidence to support these claims internationally. Analysts say such statements could also be seen as a pressure tactic before diplomatic talks.
Experts believe that the US is trying to bring Iran to the negotiating table by combining economic pressure and military posture. However, Tehran’s official response to this is still unclear, leaving the overall situation in uncertainty.
