Trump Highlights Iran's Military Issues and Protester Killings Amid US Sanctions
US President Donald Trump accused Iran's government of failing to pay parts of its military and killing protesters at unprecedented levels, describing the situation as a humanitarian crisis. His remarks came amid heightened US economic pressure on Iran, including new sanctions and efforts to cut off Tehran's financial resources. Experts note that these measures may be limited in impact due to China's significant role in purchasing Iranian oil. The US-Iran conflict shows no signs of easing.
