By Tala Ramadan and Steve Holland DUBAI/WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday demanded Iran pay compensation for the deaths of people he said it had killed in wars, attacks and protests, raising the rhetorical stakes with Tehran as hopes faded for an imminent deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said he was responding to Iran's earlier call for Washington to meet conditions, including recompensing Tehran for the damage caused in the more than five months since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on its territory.
