Iran demanded the removal of U.S. sanctions and compensation for damages related to recent conflicts, including military actions and bombing raids affecting its nuclear facilities. In response, former President Donald Trump rejected Iran\u2019s demands, asserting that Iran should compensate those harmed by its actions, including families of victims in conflicts and protests over the past decades. Trump emphasized that negotiations are ongoing but are ongoing with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/susan-wilds-moderate-abortion-stance-nearly-cost-her-an-election-now-shes-taking-plan-b\/\" title=\"Susan Wild&#039;s previous moderate stance on abortion almost led to her losing the election. However, she is now adopting a new approach.\">cautious approach due<\/a> to Iran&#8217;s economic struggles and inflation. He also highlighted that U.S. economic measures, like the blockade, are impacting Iran&#8217;s economy and that the situation is akin to a chess game between the nations. Both Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance indicated that the situation remains complex, with diplomatic, economic, and military tools being employed to achieve the best outcome for the U.S.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Iran tried to play the victim card, but found itself Trumped.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, Iran spewed forth a number of conditions for allowing unrestricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, including a demand that \u00a0\u201cAmerica must correct its behavior,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/08\/09\/middleeast\/hormuz-iran-us-demands-analysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The demands included a requirement that Iran be compensated for damage in this year\u2019s war and last year\u2019s bombing raids that destroyed its nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump responded that if the deal requires compensation, Iran will not be immune from facing the consequences of its actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings!\u201d Trump posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/117072168149236615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it is an interesting idea because now I am <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-demands-compensation-for-americans-killed-by-iranian-bombs\/\" title=\"... ... &#039;...&#039; for Americans killed by ...ian bombs\">likewise demanding compensation<\/a> from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat,\u201d Trump posted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 that have been killed in the last five months,\u201d Trump posted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, with respect to the Iran negotiations, Iran should be responsible for the damages and death caused to the people of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza!\u201d Trump added in a <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/117072424154442498\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">later post.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although Trump had been talking about military action, that option appears to have faded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are low-keying it,\u201d Trump told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/08\/09\/trump-iran-interview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a> Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are only semi-negotiating with them.
