After the US lifts sanctions and rejoins the JCPOA, Iran will expect some form of compensation, foreign minister Zarif says.
Tehran, Iran – Unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States inflicted $1 trillion worth of damage on Iran’s economy and Tehran expects compensation, its foreign minister said.
Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Sunday after the US takes action to restore Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers through lifting sanctions, Tehran will want to negotiate on the damages it has suffered.
“When we meet, we will raise compensation,” Zarif told the Iranian state-owned news network PressTV in an hour-long interview.
“Whether those compensations will take the form of reparation, or whether they take the form of investment, or whether they take the form of measures to prevent a repeat of what Trump did,” he said in reference to former US President Donald Trump.

" Along with Japan's war with China, withdrawal from the League of Nations, alliance with Germany and Italy and increasing militarization, the move induced the United States to intensify its measures to restrain Japan economically. The United States embargoed scrap-metal shipments to Japan and closed the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping. This hit Japan's economy particularly hard because 74.1% of Japan's scrap iron came from the United States in 1938. Also, 93% of Japan's copper in 1939 came from the United States." - wiki
So the U.S. owes Japan for the 1940/1941 embargo?
"On July 26, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets in the United States in retaliation for the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China."

Why trade when we can seize was not an acceptable policy.
Nothing was seized. Assets were frozen for a future democratic Iranian government. That was the plan. Then Obozo came along and gave the autocrats the assets.
How often do we hear from someone frosted that Standard Oil or IUIBM conducted business with NAZI Germany? Then most of those people are blowing Obozo wet kisses when Obozo sent pallets of unmarked bills to Ayatollahs.
University student protesting are the gold standard in democracy according to wiberals. When they protested in 2009, Obama sat on his hands.
Which wiberal 'wed' corporation doing business with the Ayatollahs will be the Standard Pil and IBM of today?
Iran still has not paid the price for the act of war committed against the USA during the administration of the Democrat and coward Jimmy Carter (the 1979 takeover of the US embassy) and the deaths of several Americans by torture.
USA should continue to inflict damage against Iran until the responsible parties are captured and executed.
The Iranians did not kill anyone in the embassy take over. I like the thought of executing the hostage takers, but I do not know that the law allows it. I would argue that, if you take enough of a person's life by imprisonment, it is in essence murdering them. Executing the Iranian and Hezbollah, who killed our people in Lebanon, I think is very warranted and long overdue.
