Trump Claims US Control of Strait of Hormuz, Demands Iran Compensation

Written by AI, News Sources from CBS World, CBS News, Al Jazeera11 Aug 20261 min readUpdated 2 hr ago

President Donald Trump said he will seek compensation from Iran for casualties in the war and claimed the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz, as talks between Iran and Oman continue over reopening the strategic waterway.

Trump said he would demand payment for what he described as 50 years of alleged damages caused by Iran. Iran, in turn, has conditioned the reopening of the Strait on receiving war reparations, leaving the two countries in a deepening stalemate.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said progress had been made on the issue and suggested a deal could be announced as early as Wednesday. Iran and Oman have been engaged in talks as part of the negotiations.
