US President Trump posted on social media on August 10 that after Iran demands compensation from the US for the military conflict, he also wants to file a claim with Iran, and has instructed US negotiators to clearly include this request in all future negotiation agendas. Trump said that Iranian negotiators are seeking compensation for losses suffered during the past five months of military conflict, and “this issue has never been mentioned in any previous negotiations or meetings.” He is now also demanding compensation from Iran for the deaths and injuries caused by “the use of roadside bombs and in numerous clashes”, including compensation for the families of the victims in the attack on the destroyer “Cole” and thousands of people who died in the fighting. According to a report by Iran News Television on the 8th, Zulghader, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said that if the US does not change its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed. The prerequisite for reopening the Strait of Hormuz is that the US satisfies five conditions, including the return of Iran's frozen assets and compensation for losses caused to Iran by related military actions. On October 12, 2000, a small boat loaded with explosives launched a suicide bombing attack on the destroyer “Cole”, which was being refueled at the port of Aden in Yemen, and severely damaged the ship, causing the death of 17 US military personnel. In January 2019, the US side announced that it had killed Jamal Badawi, the mastermind of the bombing attack on the USS “Cole”.
