Trump demands war reparations from Iran for decades of casualties FAST-MOVING

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will demand war reparations from Iran. This move comes in response to reports that Iranian officials have requested compensation for damages sustained during recent military conflicts.

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump stated that his representatives have been instructed to include compensation demands in all future negotiations with Tehran. He cited several grounds for these claims, including casualties resulting from conflicts led by the late General Qasem Soleimani and the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen.

Furthermore, Trump demanded compensation for the families of hundreds of thousands of protesters killed during domestic unrest in Iran over the last 50 years. He also noted that 52,000 people have reportedly died in the last five months.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that Iran and the U.S. are not currently engaged in direct negotiations, noting that communications are being handled through intermediaries.
