Trump says Iran must pay compensation for those it has killed and wounded
Trump said compensation for Americans harmed by Iran will be part of any future negotiations after Tehran demanded payment for war damages.
- 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.

U.S. counter-attack Iran's claim for compensation: Trump demands compensation for the victims of the "USS Cole", for "52 thousand dead in the last five months" and for decades of repression.
As Iran demanded war damages as a condition for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump demanded counter-reparations. Citing damages from past terrorism and conflicts in which Iran was involved, Trump ordered that these be included in the negotiations. Furthermore, Trump claimed that the U.S. Navy had cleared mines from the strait and was in full control of the situation.
Without payment for victims no talks, the US President explains. Iran demands the opposite.
