US-Iran war LIVE: Trump lashes out at Iran over compensation, makes sweeping new demands amid Hormuz deal cloud

US President Donald Trump made fresh demands on Iran on Monday, calling for compensation for the lives lost in conflicts and reiterating the necessity for Washington to end the naval blockade in any future negotiations. These demands were made in response to Iran's reiteration of reparations requests during talks aimed at resolving the conflict.

The tension arose as the US sought to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil and liquefied natural gas trade. However, Iran insisted that any deal would require the US to lift the blockade and provide compensation. Trump, during an interview with ABC News, stated that the "Strait of Hormuz is now open and completely controlled by Washington," but acknowledged that Iran could "make trouble."

Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson criticized the US' reliance on sanctions, accusing the administration of being "addicted" to economic restrictions. Despite this, tensions continued, with Israeli forces reportedly shelling areas near Lebanon, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul holding a phone call to discuss the situation.
