When Trump launched his reckless and illegal war against Iran in February, he made repeated assurances that it wouldn’t last more than a few days. That was quickly amended to 4-6 weeks. And that was amended to say that he had already won the war, despite the fact that he is still fighting it going into the sixth month.

It’s not unusual for Trump to make grossly hyperbolic assertions that are unrelated to reality. He brags about the currently floundering economy being the best it has ever been. He claims to have eliminated illegal immigration. He thinks he is achieving the highest poll numbers of his term in office. And he relentlessly insists that Iran has been defeated and is begging for peace.

The latest ludicrous claim by Trump about Iran came in a comment that he posted Monday morning to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. It was a tediously long tirade that included his flagrant falsehood that…

“Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict…even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings!”

Let’s set aside Trump’s cartoon characterization of the war, that has seen at least 12 American fatalities and hundreds of injuries, as a merely “Military Conflict.” His claim that Iran had never mentioned compensation before as a condition for peace or a ceasefire is just another example of Trump’s ignorance about what is actually happening. To the contrary, Iran has been seeking reparations from the very start of the war. The evidence below was from a report published on March 12, 2026, less than two weeks after Trump launched his attack.

Iran’s demand for compensation was reiterated in June. As reported by The Guardian…

“According to the interim deal signed in June, a schedule to end sanctions and a plan for compensation would be part of the final deal, and negotiations would address frozen assets.”

So does Trump really not know that reparations were discussed in prior negotiations? Or is he lying to pretend that they weren’t? Either way, it would be a disqualifying state of affairs for a commander-in-chief to be either that ignorant or that dishonest.

Trump went on to make some bizarre claims that Iran should pay reparations to the U.S. for things that happened many years ago and had nothing to do with this war. Most preposterous was his call for Iran to pay compensation to the families of the Iranian protesters who were killed by the Iranian regime. So Trump is now acting as an agent for civilians in Iran? What’s more, these are not just suggestions made out of concern for the victims. Trump added that…

“I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations.”

Clearly Trump has no intention of making a deal. Not with these insane demands. But there is a strong possibility that he will agree to terms that are favorable to Iran, because he needs to get out of this quagmire, and preferably before the midterm elections. So Trump might just declare victory and retreat. Iran is well aware of this, and of Trump’s weaknesses, and they are prepared to wait him out.

Unfortunately, the losers in all of this will be the exploited American soldiers who are being used as pawns, with no rational objective or benefit, and the American people who are paying for Trump’s foolishness with both dollars and the lives of their families and neighbors. And Trump couldn’t care less about any of it. Which is why he can so easily lie and remain so staggeringly ignorant.
