Trump Demands Compensation From Iran For Deaths And Injuries As New Condition To Reopen HormuzU.S. President Donald Trump on Monday demanded that Iran pay compensation for people killed in wars, attacks and protests, adding a new obstacle to efforts to reach an agreement on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has said the United States must first agree to conditions including compensation, an end to sanctions and an end to military threats. About one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the conflict. The United States has repeatedly rejected any agreement that would allow Iran to charge fees for ships using the strait. Trump is also facing pressure to end a war that is unpopular in the United States ahead of November’s midterm elections.
