According to him, Tehran should pay.

U.S. President Donald Trump calculated on social media X, how much Iran should pay for its destructive wars and the suppression of protests.

Trump says that representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are demanding compensation for the damage caused to them during the past five months of military conflict.

He recalled that the war against Iran began to prevent that country from acquiring nuclear weapons. And he assured that the terms of compensation were not discussed during negotiations with the U.S.

“But that’s an interesting idea, because now I’m also demanding compensation from Iran for all the people they’ve killed and seriously wounded with their bombs and the many conflicts they’re famous for,” Trump said.

He listed the people who died from Iranian weapons, specifically: the families on the U.S. ship “Cole” and thousands of others killed in combat.

In addition, according to Trump, compensation should be paid to the families of hundreds of thousands of innocent protesters whom Iran has killed over the past 50 years.

“Not to mention the 52,000 who have been killed over the past five months,” he noted.

“I have instructed my representatives to take this clearly into account in any future negotiations,” Trump assured.
