Trump demands Iran compensate Americans and protesters after Tehran seeks war reparations

President Donald Trump on Monday demanded that Iran compensate Americans killed or seriously wounded in attacks he blamed on Tehran, while also calling for payments to the families of Iranian protesters killed by the regime.

The president also said he had instructed his representatives to raise his compensation demands in any future negotiations with Iran.

Trump’s remarks came after senior Iranian officials demanded compensation from Washington as part of Tehran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
