Those demands reportedly include compensation for damage caused by U.S. and Israeli attacks, the lifting of sanctions, and an end to military threats against Iran. Trump responded by arguing that Washington could make its own compensation claims against Tehran. “It is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran,” Trump wrote, citing people he said were killed or gravely wounded by roadside bombs and in various conflicts. Trump additionally said Iran should compensate the families of thousands of people affected by deadly anti-government protests in January. The competing compensation demands add another layer of tension between Washington and Tehran as negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz continue.
