> The US president is seeking payment from Iran for what he describes as damages accumulated over “50 years”. Iran has tied any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to the payment of war reparations. Talks over the strait’s future are continuing, with compensation now a central condition in the dispute. The negotiations remain unresolved as both sides press their demands.
