Trump demands Iran pay compensation for deaths as Hormuz deal hopes fade

US President Donald Trump on Aug. 10, 2026 demands Iran pay compensation for the people he says it killed in wars, attacks and protests, in a move that will likely complicate efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's proposal, which has not been raised before, was a response to Tehran's demands for compensation and an end to sanctions. These are largely in line with the terms of a preliminary peace deal signed in June, which has since broken down. Speaking at an event about vaccine guidelines at the White House, Trump also said the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz and had swept the strategic oil waterway for Iranian mines.

00:00They asked for reparations, you might say, or they asked for money for the damage that we've done.
00:09I said, that's a good idea. Well, we're going to ask for money for the damage they've done over a
00:1350-year period.
00:14Whether you go SS Cole or whether you go all of the people that were so badly hurt, so badly
00:19wounded or killed,
00:20many thousands of people, and maybe damages for the 52,000 protesters over the last four months that we killed
00:28in Iran.
00:28We think their family should get damages for killing their person or their child or mother-father that we're protesting.
00:36It was at least 52,000 a month and a half ago. So now what is it?
00:41So if there's damages to be paid, I think Iran should pay those damages.
00:46Listen to the president of domestic policy, Dr. Heidi Overton.
00:51It's open now. We're taking a lot of shit. It's open now.
00:54Look, the only one that has control of the Strait of Hormuz right now is the United States Navy.
01:00We have a blockade that's been infallible. It's a steel wall.
01:04And we let people in that we want to let in, and those people come in.
01:08They've been coming in and they're going out, so it's actually open now.
01:12We do not let them go into Iran. They're not admitted into the Strait to go to Iran.
01:17But it's open for others. Now, a little bit complex because they will, on occasion, drop a mine.
01:27We find the mines. You know, we've mineswept the entire Strait, as you probably maybe heard, maybe you didn't hear.
01:35But we control the Strait 100%.
01:38Now, can they make trouble? Yeah, they can make trouble.
01:42But they're broke. They have no money.
01:44You know, Iran is broke. Totally broke.
01:46So, thank you for your time.
01:48You are the two.
01:50I have my two.
01:51I'm the one.
01:52I'm the one.
01:54I'm the one.
01:59I'm the one.
02:15I'm the one.
