Trump to Demand Compensation for Tehran’s ‘Conflicts’ The news that President Donald Trump plans to demand compensation from Iran for alleged "conflicts" caused by the US war on Iranian soil is a stark reminder of the imperial calculus driving American foreign policy.
This move comes as Tehran continues to insist that it will only reopen the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz to international shipping if Washington agrees to compensate it for damage caused by the US led bombing campaign.
Trump's decision to turn the tables and demand compensation from Iran represents a brazen attempt to rewrite the narrative of responsibility in this war.
