Trump Demands War Reparations From Iran | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Author: Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas August 11, 2026 Duration: 1:00:32

Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET.

Today we discuss:

• Iran seeks war reparations from the US. Trump flips the table, demanding compensation from Iran, citing attacks and atrocities stretching back decades allegedly backed or perpetrated by Iran. He also claimed compensation for the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole at a Yemeni port. The FBI attributed that bombing to Al Qaeda.

• Russia was a major Assad ally during Syria’s 14-year civil war which ended when the current President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, toppled the regime. Assad fled to Russia where he and his family were granted asylum. Under a new memorandum of understanding reflecting a thaw in relations, Syria will take control of civilian facilities at the Hmeimim airbase and the commercial section of Tartus port.

• Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have held regular foreign minister-level consultations under a grouping known as "The Regional Four", moves that have triggered outrage in Israel. Egypt and Saudi Arabia were hesitant, because of Israeli threats.
