Trump Accuses Iran of Military Payment Failures and Protester Killings Amid US Sanctions
US President Donald Trump accused Iran's government of failing to pay large parts of its military and killing protesters at unprecedented levels, describing the situation as a humanitarian crisis. He made these claims on Truth Social amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and a new US economic campaign targeting Iran's financial networks. While Trump called for the crisis to stop immediately, he did not provide evidence for the allegations. The US aims to increase pressure on Tehran through sanctions and financial restrictions.
