Trump Fires Back at Iran’s Reparations Demand: “Tehran Should Pay the Victims Too”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has turned Iran’s demand for war reparations back on Tehran, arguing that the United States could also seek compensation for Americans and others harmed by actions he attributes to the Iranian government and its affiliated groups.

The dispute emerged after Iran reportedly raised compensation for damage caused by U.S. and Israeli military operations as part of its broader demands in negotiations with Washington.

Trump responded by calling the idea of reparations “interesting,” before arguing that Iran itself should face financial responsibility for decades of violence and instability that the United States has blamed on Tehran and Iran-backed organizations.
