US President Trump says Iran should pay for regional damage
United States (US) President Donald Trump used a post on his Truth Social platform to push back on Iran's demands for war reparations, arguing that Tehran, not Washington, should carry the bill for the damage and lives lost across the region.
Key takeaways
Trump said Iran should be "responsible for the damages and death" caused to the people of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Gaza.
The remark is a direct answer to Iran's own call for compensation, with each side now demanding the other pay.
It comes with the Strait of Hormuz still shut and US-Iran talks effectively stalled, while Oman and Iran work on a power-sharing agreement for the Strait, leaving the US and Iranian positions further apart rather than closer.
