Iran Demands War Reparations to Reopen Strait of Hormuz as Houthi Attacks Escalate
Tehran issued new demands on August 10 for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, requiring the U.S. to compensate Iran for war damages and end economic pressure. U.S. President Trump described the situation as "semi-negotiating." Meanwhile, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels conducted two strikes on the Yemeni port city of Mocha within 24 hours, targeting weapons depots and Saudi troop concentrations. In a related diplomatic break, Israeli PM Netanyahu rejected a U.S.-led 15-point Gaza peace plan.
