Trump Highlights Iran's Military Payment Issues and Protester Killings Amid US Sanctions
US President Donald Trump accused Iran's government of failing to pay large segments of its military and killing protesters at unprecedented levels, describing the situation as a humanitarian crisis. His remarks on Truth Social coincided with the US launching 'Operation Economic Outcast,' a campaign to cut Iran off from international financial networks. The conflict between the US and Iran remains tense, with recent protests in Iran leading to executions that have drawn international condemnation. Trump’s claims lack independent verification.
