US says Trump interested' in asking Arab countries to pay for war on Iran
"Leavitt stated, 'I think it's something the president would be quite interested in calling them to do... it's an idea that I know that he has.'"
"During the Gulf War, coalition members raised $54bn to help pay for US involvement, a significant contribution from regional states."
"Sean Hannity suggested that any ceasefire deal should include making Iran pay for the cost of the war, stating, 'They must agree to repay America in oil for the entire cost of this entire military operation.'"
"Iran has retaliated against US and Israeli strikes with missile and drone attacks, targeting US assets and civilian sites across the Middle East."
The White House indicated that President Trump might request Arab nations to finance the US war against Iran, which could cost tens of billions. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt mentioned that this idea aligns with Trump's interests. During the Gulf War, regional states contributed significantly to US military costs. In contrast, the current conflict with Iran has been unilateral, without regional allies' involvement. Commentators suggest that any ceasefire should require Iran to compensate the US for military expenses, while Iran demands US compensation for war damages as a condition.
