Trump Demands Iranian Reparations Amid Stalled Strait of Hormuz Talks
U.S. President Trump announced that Iran must pay compensation for decades of damage, including regional conflicts and protester deaths, as a condition for further negotiations. This demand has significantly complicated ongoing talks aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The statement marks a hardening of the U.S. stance, with Trump reportedly open to ending the current conflict without a formal nuclear deal if reparations are not addressed. Tehran has played down recent security agreements in response.
