Cole in 2000, despite the U.S. blaming Al-Qaeda for the attack, and despite Sudan having agreed to pay out a settlement to the families of the victims in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=1396\">Trump Ballroom Deemed Unlawful by Federal Appeals Court<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump also says that Iran should grant compensation to the families of 52,000 protesters he claims the government has killed \u201cin the last five months.\u201d This statement is confusing, as Iran\u2019s crackdown on mass protests happened in December and January, which was longer than five months ago, and because experts have said that roughly 7,000 and a maximum of 20,000 were killed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear if the compensation demand also includes Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen as well, or who would even receive compensation if it did. <\/p>\n<p>The assertion that the destruction in Gaza and Lebanon can be blamed on Iran is absurd on its face as Israeli forces are openly occupying and razing both regions; in fact, the claim is ironic since Israel\u2019s insistence on continuing its assault on Lebanon has been a major sticking point for the Iranian side in talks over ending the war. The U.S. military\u2019s special operations center in Syria has faced attacks by Iran during the current war, but the U.S. has also carried out strikes on Syria and Yemen in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, Trump\u2019s posts appear to be his latest attempts at negotiation with Iran as talks have largely stalled amid the latest round of attacks between Iran and the U.S. <\/p>\n<p>In recent days, Trump has indicated that he is shifting to placing economic pressure on Iran rather than focusing on strikes, even as he has continued to threaten to carry out airstrikes. However, Trump has also said that Iran is desperate to make a deal with him since the start of the war, and has repeatedly made maximalist threats against the country. <em>NBC<\/em> recently reported that it is, in fact, Trump officials who have been unable to agree on a strategy for the war and who have been scrambling to find a pathway out.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=1395\">Protesters Marking 10 Years After Michael Brown\u2019s Killing Face Arrest and Prison<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post came in response to Iranian officials demanding that the U.S. compensate Iran for the war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
