US Demands $5 Trillion from Gulf States to Stop Iran War
Reports circulating on BBC Arabic, attributed to Omani journalist Salem al-Juhouri, allege that the Trump administration has demanded trillions of dollars from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. These alleged financial contributions, purportedly ranging from $2.5 trillion to $5 trillion, are linked to either continuing or ceasing the conflict with Iran. These claims suggest a broader U.S. effort to secure financial and military support from regional allies amidst ongoing hostilities with Iran, which escalated following a joint U.S.-Israeli offensive on February 28th. Official confirmation from either U.S. or Gulf authorities regarding these demands has not been provided.
