Trump demands Iran pay compensation to victims of IRGC-linked violence

US President Donald Trump has demanded that Iran pay compensation to the families of American citizens wounded in attacks allegedly orchestrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Trump further stated that the families of protesters killed by Iranian state forces while opposing the IRGC over the last 50 years should also receive compensation. Trump’s remarks included allegations regarding the IRGC's role in organising attacks against American citizens. The report provided no further details regarding the number of victims, the proposed amount of compensation, or the potential mechanisms for implementing such a demand. The Jerusalem Post published these remarks in a report concerning Iran.
