Iran leaves surprising ‘list of demands’ on Trump including ‘compensation’
Donald Trump sent a 15-point peace plan to bring conflict to the Middle East, and now Iran has reportedly responded with its own list, which includes surprising demands.
Iran has reportedly submitted its peace plan list to the United States, including demands for compensation. Donald Trump has sent Iran a 15-point peace plan to end the Middle East conflict as the missiles approach a month since they were first launched. The deal is believed to include restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program and an agreement to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.
Iran has denied that talks are even taking place, but now it has reportedly given its list, which includes demands that may be difficult for America and Israel to accept.

Iran is demanding several guarantees over the conflict, which has caused thousands of deaths, damaged critical infrastructure, and displaced people from their homes.
The list also asks for war compensation, which Trump will find hard to accept and will look bad before the US midterms.

“The Iranian president has said that one of the things that is needed is security guarantees, insurance that war will not resume,” said a NewsNation reporter in Tel Aviv, who listed the demands.
And Iran reportedly does not want any control over its ballistic missile programme, the report continues: “Especially for the Israeli side it will be hard to accept – and possibly for the Americans as well. There are signs that Iran has said they are willing to dig their own hell out of all this, that they have some kind of leverage.
That’s why when you talk to the Israeli public, they give little thought to the possibility of any negotiations here, believing that the gap to be bridged is just a little bit higher. Most people believe that there is still a way to go in this war.”
With increasing pressure on the United States to end the war as it neared the end of its first month, Washington submitted its 15-point plan to Iran through Pakistan’s intermediaries.
At least 1,000 US troops from the 82nd Airborne Division will be sent to the Middle East in the coming days. The Pentagon is also in the process of deploying two Marine units that would add about 5,000 Marines and thousands of sailors to the region. Trump is framing the move as a way to give himself “maximum flexibility” in his next actions.
