US President Donald Trump says Iran should also be responsible “for the damages and death caused to the people of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza.”
The latest declaration by Trump in a Truth Social post comes an hour after he claimed he had instructed his negotiators to demand that Iran pay reparations for Americans it has killed over the years.
It is unclear how significant these social media declarations are, given that Trump acknowledged just yesterday that the US is only “semi-negotiating” with Iran.
