Washington, Aug 26:
US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran is facing a severe economic and military crisis, alleging that Tehran is struggling to finance parts of its military and that protesters have been killed amid the worsening situation.
Trump described the developments in Iran as a crisis of “epic proportions” while making fresh claims about the country’s internal situation.
He alleged that Iran was facing difficulties in meeting military-related financial commitments and pointed to reports of violence against protesters.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with US pressure on Iran continuing over its military capabilities, regional activities and broader foreign policy.
Trump’s latest comments are expected to add to the diplomatic pressure on the Iranian leadership, while Tehran continues to reject US allegations and defend its policies.
The situation remains closely watched internationally as Washington weighs further measures against Iran and the wider geopolitical confrontation continues.
