War on Iran: US's history of making other nations pay for conflicts
"President Trump is considering asking Arab countries to cover the cost of the US-Israel war on Iran, as stated by White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. This idea reflects Trump's interest in seeking financial support from allies, similar to the Gulf War funding mechanisms."
"Trump indicated he may be satisfied with ending the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that other nations reliant on oil exports should manage the crisis. This has raised concerns as the price of Brent crude oil has surged significantly since the war began."
"Tehran has stated that the US should pay reparations to compensate victims of the war in Iran as a condition for any ceasefire. The overall financial burden of the conflict remains unclear, with analysts estimating costs could reach tens of billions of dollars."

Tehran demands reparations for war victims as a ceasefire condition, while Gulf Cooperation Council members have not yet indicated their willingness to fund the war.
