Trump Demands Compensation From Iran as Hormuz Reopening Talks Hit New Standoff
Washington and Tehran are now demanding money from each other as negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz become increasingly complicated. Iran wants reparations for destruction caused by the U.S.-Israeli war, while Donald Trump says Iran should compensate Americans and others affected by conflicts involving Tehran and its allies. With sanctions, military forces, frozen assets and the future of Hormuz all tied to the negotiations, the compensation dispute could become a major obstacle to any broader settlement.
