War compensation: Trump flips the script on Iran
Iran is demanding compensation for damage from the military conflict.
Trump’s response?
Fine. Then pay up for everything you’ve done.
- Compensation for the roadside bombs.
- For the USS Cole.
- For thousands of American lives.
- For the hundreds of thousands of Iranian protesters your regime slaughtered.
- For the 52,000 killed in the last five months alone.
NEW: President Trump says he will be demanding compensation from Iran “for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts.”
Trump says compensation should also be paid to the families of “hundreds of thousands” of Iranian protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years.
“I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations.”
