Summary

Nutrition label

72% Informative

Former President Donald Trump said Iran was so impoverished that it didn't provide any money to terror groups.

Trump 's claim that Iran was n’t funding Hezbollah , Hamas or any other terror group during his presidency is false.

Iran ’s funding for such groups did decline in the second half of his presidency, but the funding never stopped entirely, experts say.

Iran slashed payments to Shiite militia groups in Iraq because of the impact of sanctions and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Iran reduced its publicly disclosed military budget under Trump .

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute , which monitors countries’ military spending, reported that Iranian military spending declined 20% between 2018 and 2020 .
