- Trump on Monday demanded Iran pay compensation for people he said it had killed in wars, attacks, and protests.
- The compensation demand will likely complicate efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to the source.
Why it matters: Trump's compensation demand adds a new precondition to the Hormuz negotiations at a moment when, per other coverage, Iran is insisting the strait remain closed until Trump agrees to its demands — meaning both sides are now layering conditions on talks, making a diplomatic breakthrough harder.
