U.S. President Donald Trump demanded compensation from Iran on Monday for all those killed and wounded as a result of its roadside bombs and involvement in numerous conflicts.
Writing on the "Truth Social" platform, Trump stated that Iran must pay compensation to the families of hundreds of thousands of innocent protesters it has killed over the past fifty years, as well as the 52,000 who have died over the past five months.
He emphasized that he has instructed his representatives to make this a firm requirement in all future negotiations.
Trump noted that Iranian representatives are demanding compensation for damages incurred during the five-month military conflict, stressing that this topic was never raised in any prior negotiations or meetings.
On Sunday, Iran stated that it was close to finalizing an agreement with the Sultanate of Oman to establish new shipping lanes between them through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Tehran reiterated that the United States must satisfy other conditions—including paying compensation and ending sanctions and military threats—before the strategic waterway is reopened.
A U.S. official said on Friday that an agreement between Iran and Oman was imminent and could pave the way for restoring safe transit through the strait, which served as a major conduit for oil and gas shipments before Iran closed it in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes on Tehran that began in late February.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Sunday that reaching an agreement with Oman regarding the strait had entered its "final stages." Nevertheless, he echoed comments he made on Saturday, affirming that Tehran will not reopen the corridor unless the United States meets specific demands.
According to the Iranian Mehr News Agency, Araghchi noted that the agreement will define the new shipping lanes to be used once the United States fulfills those conditions and the strait is reopened.
Araghchi added that Iran and the United States are not holding direct talks, and that Tehran will not initiate them as long as Washington violates an interim agreement signed in June, noting that messages are currently being exchanged through intermediaries.
