Iran demands war compensation to reopen Strait of Hormuz: Official

Al Jazeera - Seyyed Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy for communications at the Iranian president’s office, has said Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz only after receiving compensation for war damages, paid via a “new legal regime” based on transit fees.

Tabatabaei also said in a social media post that Trump, who earlier today threatened to attack Iran’s civil infrastructure over the strait’s closure, had “resorted to obscenities and nonsense out of sheer desperation and anger”.
