By Steve Holland and Jacob Bogage
WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday demanded Iran pay compensation for the people he said it had 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. This are largely in line with the terms of a preliminary peace deal signed in June, which has since broken down.

Since the war began in February, Trump has repeatedly oscillated between threats of escalation and claims that a peace deal is imminent.

“I 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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran.”

It was unclear how the two sides can come to an agreement, given that neither side is likely to accept the other’s terms.

Oil prices rose after Trump’s post, with Brent crude trading at $87, up 4.6% for the day.

Trump said the U.S. would seek compensation for people who have been killed or wounded in previous conflicts, as well as payments to the families of hundreds of thousands of protesters whom he said Iran had killed.

Trump encouraged protesters to overthrow the Iranian government when the war began with U.S. and Israeli airstrikes in February. Rights groups say the Iranian government has continued to crack down on opponents since then.

Trump also said Iran should compensate families of the 17 U.S. sailors killed in an October 2000 attack in Yemen on the naval vessel USS Cole, which has been blamed on al Qaeda, not Iran.

DUBAI, Aug 10 (Reuters) – Iran has changed its sec

DUBAI, Aug 10 (Reuters) – Iran has changed its secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, appointing former Revolutionary Guards commander Mohsen Rezaei as second-in-command on the body that coordinates the country’s security and foreign policy.

Rezaei is more of an outspoken public figure than his predecessor, Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr. The appointment was announced late on Sunday by President Masoud Pezeshkian’s deputy director of communications.

Zolqadr had only been appointed as SNSC secretary in late March, after his predecessor, Ali Larijani, was killed in an air strike during the war pitting Iran against the U.S. and Israel.

No reason was given for the change and it was not immediately clear if it would herald any change in policy.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Saturday that Iran and Oman were “very close” to an agreement on a new shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz — which has been all but closed during five months of war — but reopening it would depend on other conditions, including U.S. compensation to Iran.

Zolqadr meanwhile had listed other demands including ending U.S. threats against Iran, stopping aggression against Iran and its Lebanese, Palestinian, Yemeni and Iraqi allies, lifting a blockade and sanctions on Iran and freeing Iranian assets.

The SNSC, formally chaired by the elected president, coordinates security and foreign policy, and includes top military, intelligence and government officials in addition to representatives of the supreme leader who has ultimate say over all matters of state.

Rezaei, 71, commanded Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps from 1981 to 1997, including during much of the Iran-Iraq war. He later served as secretary of Iran‘s Expediency Discernment Council for more than two decades and as vice president for economic affairs from 2021 to 2023 under hardline President Ebrahim Raisi.

He holds a doctorate in economics from the University of Tehran but has spent much of his career in Iran‘s security and political establishment.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON/CAIRO, Aug 10 (Reuters) – Iran said it was nearing a final pact with Oman defining new shipping lanes between them through the Strait of Hormuz but repeated that the U.S. must meet other conditions, including compensation and an end to sanctions and military threats, before the strategic waterway is reopened.

A U.S. official told Reuters on Friday that Iran and Oman were close to a deal that could pave the way for restoring safe passage through the strait, a major conduit for oil and gas shipping before Iran blocked Hormuz in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks on Tehran that began in late February.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday an agreement with Oman on the strait was in its “final stages” but reiterated comments made on Saturday that Tehran would not reopen the channel unless the U.S. met certain demands made by Tehran.

The deal with Iran would set out the new shipping lanes to be used once the U.S. fulfils those conditions and the strait is reopened, Iran‘s Mehr news agency quoted him as saying.

Iran and the U.S. are not engaged in direct talks, and Tehran will not start them as long as Washington breaches an interim deal signed in June, Araqchi said, adding that messages were being exchanged through intermediaries.

U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with Axios that the U.S. was “low-keying” it with Iran. “We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money.”

Araqchi said reopening the strait would depend in part on the U.S. paying compensation for damage it caused in widespread attacks on Iran.

WASHINGTON, Aug 9 (Reuters) – After months of U.S.

WASHINGTON, Aug 9 (Reuters) – After months of U.S. military strikes on Iran, sanctions and a blockade, President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration is watching economic pressure mount on Iran, according to an interview with Axios.

“We are low keying it,” Trump was quoted as saying during a brief phone call. “We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money.”

ANKARA, Aug 8 (Reuters) – A defense pact signed be

ANKARA, Aug 8 (Reuters) – A defense pact signed between Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is technically the same as NATO’s Article 5 mutual defence agreement, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday, adding the accord was not targeting Iran.

Speaking to the state-run Anadolu news agency, Fidan said a committee of ministers similar to that within NATO would be formed as part of the alliance, as well as a general secretariat based in Saudi Arabia. Egypt could potentially join the pact once certain technical matters are resolved, he said.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey signed the agreement on Friday.
