BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 22. Iran is collapsing
financially, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social,
Trend reports.
"They want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately- Starving for
cash! Losing 500 Million Dollars a day," he added.
According to Trump, under the current circumstances, the Iranian
authorities are having difficulty paying salaries to public sector
employees on time.
"Military and Police are complaining that they are not getting
paid. SOS," Trump wrote.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
On April 21, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he extended
the ceasefire until Iran submits its proposal and discussions are
concluded, one way or the other.
