Trump says Iran must pay compensation for those it has killed and wounded
Trump said Iran must pay for deaths and injuries from decades of attacks as talks over reopening the Strait of Hormuz stall.
- President Donald Trump demanded on Monday that Iran pay compensation for Americans killed or wounded in conflicts, countering Tehran's recent demand for war reparations and stating the issue will be included in all future negotiations.
- Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, had outlined sweeping conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz: compensation for war damages, lifting sanctions, and ending military threats against Tehran.
- Trump cited Americans harmed by roadside bombs, the USS Cole bombing that killed 17 sailors and wounded more than three dozen others, and the 2020 strike on Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq.
- Writing on Truth Social, Trump stated, "It is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran," while also demanding payments for families of protesters killed during the five-month Military Conflict.
- The United States launched Operation Epic Fury five months ago, which Trump stated was necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons; tensions remain high as both nations exchange competing compensation demands.
