Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported25m ago
US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will demand conflict compensation and war reparations from Iran as part of any future peace negotiations to resolve ongoing hostilities in West Asia. Trump stated that this compensation would be sought for the deaths of US soldiers.
This announcement serves as a direct response to Iran's prior insistence that US payment of war reparations is a mandatory precondition for any resolution of the conflict. Specifically, Tehran had requested war reparations as a condition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
