President Trump announced that the U.S. will seek compensation from Iran for attacks on allies and American victims, as well as for Iranian anti-government protesters.

American President Donald Trump stated that the United States will seek compensation from Iran for its attacks on U.S. allies and for the casualties among American troops, but also for Iranian anti-government protesters.

This statement comes in the context in which Iran has conditioned the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on the payment of compensation for damages caused by the war with the U.S. and Israel.

Trump emphasized that the U.S. will make this request firmly in any future negotiations with Iran. He mentioned that Iran has requested compensation for damages suffered during the military conflict, but added that the U.S. also has reasons to seek compensation for the victims of Iranian attacks, including for the families of those killed on the USS Cole.

This request further complicates the possibility of a quick agreement for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran has its own conditions, including the cessation of aggression from the U.S. and the lifting of economic sanctions.
