00:02President Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is open and claims the U.S. now runs the critical
00:08shipping lane. Trump told reporters Monday the U.S. controls the Strait 100 percent and called
00:14the Navy's blockade of ships heading to or from Iran, quote, infallible. Iran disagrees,
00:21insisting it controls security in the Strait, and Iran refuses to fully reopen it unless the U.S.
00:26meets a list of demands. Those include lifting sanctions and paying Iran for damage from the
00:32war. Trump's response? Iran should pay the United States instead. They asked for reparations, you
00:41might say, or they asked for money for the damage that we've done. I said, that's a good idea. Well,
00:47we're going to ask for money for the damage they've done over a 50-year period, whether you go SS
00:52call or whether you go all of the people that were so badly hurt, so badly wounded or killed,
00:57many thousands of people. Trump also said Iran should compensate the families of protesters
01:03killed by the Iranian government, including what he claims are 52,000 people killed in the last five
01:09months. He says he has instructed his negotiators to make compensation part of any future talks.
