Iran asked for reparations for the war – Trump opened his own account

“I see that the representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage caused to them during the last five months of military conflict – a conflict that began because they would not have nuclear weapons – although this issue was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings,” Trump wrote.

He later added that for him, the mere raising of the demand on the part of Iran opens the door to a counter American demand. “But it’s an interesting idea, because now I’m also demanding from Iran reparations for all the people they killed and seriously injured using side charges and in the context of the many conflicts they were involved in, initially led by General Soleimani – including the families of those killed in the USS Cole and thousands of others who were killed in the battles.”

Trump continued and expanded his demand also to the families of protesters who were killed in Iran over the years. “In addition, reparations must be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protesters that Iran has killed over the past 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 people who have been killed in the past five months. I have instructed my representatives to firmly include this issue in any future negotiations.”

increase the pressure

Trump added that Iran’s economic situation is particularly difficult. According to him, Iran is “in a very bad situation” financially, and is even having trouble paying its soldiers. He added that the American naval blockade further exacerbated the economic crisis the regime is in. At the same time, Trump noted that the drop in the price of oil to a level of slightly more than 75 dollars per barrel reduces the pressure on American consumers. “It will work out. It always works out. It’s like a chess game,” he said about dealing with Iran.

New conditions

Zulkader also added a demand for full compensation for the damages of the war, for the removal of all sanctions and the release of all frozen Iranian funds. Until a few weeks ago, these requirements were presented as a condition for a nuclear agreement; Now Iran places them as conditions for reopening the strait only.
