Trump turns the tables on Iran over reparations demand

News24 contributor Kristin Tate argues Iran does not want to revisit decades of conflict after US President Donald Trump pointed to 603 American troops killed by Iran and its proxies. “Iran probably doesn’t want to play the reparations game with the United States,” Ms Tate told News24 host Chris Kenny. “Trump is saying, fine, let’s go back decades and account for the Americans killed by Iran and Iran proxies; there is a very concrete number here behind Trump's broader argument here, which is 603 American troops. “Trump is in the right here; Iran does not want to go down this road.”
