Trump Rejects Iran's Compensation Demand, Seeks Counterclaims in Future Talks
US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's demand for compensation over damages from a recent five-month military conflict, calling it an "interesting idea" but countering that Iran should pay reparations for deaths and injuries caused by its actions. Trump cited attacks linked to Iran, including the 2000 USS Cole bombing and conflicts involving General Qassem Soleimani, and extended his demand to families of protesters killed in Iran over the past 50 years. He instructed his representatives to include this compensation demand in future negotiations with Tehran. Details on enforcement or calculation of compensation were not provided.
