War on Iran: US’s history of making other nations pay for conflicts
AI Summary
In March 2026, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that President Trump is considering asking Arab nations to help fund the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran. This potential mechanism echoes the Gulf War, where US allies contributed financially. Trump suggested that nations heavily reliant on exports through the Strait of Hormuz, closed by Iran after the war began in late February, should manage the crisis of reopening it. Iran, conversely, demands US reparations for war victims as a condition for a ceasefire. While the cost of the war is unclear, there has been no indication from Middle Eastern governments about their willingness to contribute financially, especially since they advocated against the war.
