U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded that Iran compensate the families of all U.S. citizens who have been injured or killed in attacks orchestrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The demand was made in a post on the social media platform Truth Social.

Trump further asserted that compensation should also be provided to the families of anti-IRGC protestors who have been killed by Iranian regime forces over the last five decades. This broadens the scope of accountability beyond direct harm to U.S. citizens.

In a directive to U.S. officials, Trump stated that compensation for these families must be included in any future deals or agreements negotiated between Washington and Tehran. This policy aims to leverage diplomatic and economic negotiations to secure reparations for alleged Iranian actions.

I have instructed our officials to require that compensation be included in any future deals or agreements negotiated between Washington and Tehran.
