US President Donald Trump on Monday demanded that Iran compensate the victims of attacks, conflicts and domestic repression he blamed on Tehran, adding a new condition to negotiations over reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The demand came after Iran reiterated that Washington must compensate it for damage caused by more than five months of US and Israeli strikes before the strategic waterway can be fully reopened.
“It is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts,” Trump wrote on social media.
“I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations.”
Trump also called for compensation for the families of people killed during anti-government protests in Iran and those killed in the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen.
