U.S. President Donald Trump is considering urging Arab nations to contribute financially to the ongoing war with Iran, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. During a briefing in Washington, Leavitt noted that while she would not speak ahead of the President, the idea is one he is “quite interested” in pursuing.
Leavitt emphasized that discussions with Tehran are continuing behind the scenes, despite sharp public rhetoric from Iranian officials. She added that Iran’s private communications differ from its public statements, suggesting some progress in negotiations.
The President has also issued renewed warnings toward Iran, threatening severe consequences for its energy infrastructure if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, he has suggested that “regime change” in Iran is effectively underway, citing heavy losses among Iranian leadership factions.
As the conflict continues, the administration signals that more details on potential Arab financial involvement may be forthcoming.
