Trump dismisses Iranian demands for compensation, wants compensation for regime's victims instead
After a senior Iranian official demanded the U.S. compensate Iran for war damages, U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed the claim in a post on Truth Social, adding he is "likewise" demanding compensation for the regime's victims.
"Compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), [...] was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings!"
"But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat," Trump said.
"Additionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 that have been killed in the last five months. I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations."
