MobeusI just came across a posting on Astra’s Telegram channel claiming that Trump is pressuring the Gulf States to provide “either $5 tn to continue the war against Iran or $2.5tn to end it”. This is supposedly coming from an Omani journalist on the BBC. It sounds suspect but our cut-rate dictator wannabe never ceases to sink to newer lower levels each day. If it sounds like an Onion article, it might just be real.
