🔶 Iran demands compensation from Gulf countries

Ismail Baqai, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, on Sunday (24 Aban) dismissed the Gulf Arab countries’ request for compensation for damages resulting from Iran’s attacks as baseless, and said that Tehran intends to seek compensation from countries that cooperated with the United States and Israel in military operations against Iran.

These remarks were made in response to statements by Jassem Al-Budaiwi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, at a meeting on Friday, 13 November (22 Aban) of the UN Security Council.

Al-Budaiwi said at the meeting that since the start of the war on 28 February, more than 7,000 rockets and drones have been launched by Iran toward GCC member countries.

According to him, these attacks—beyond military facilities—have also targeted airports, ports, energy production facilities, power plants, desalination facilities, and residential areas, causing extensive damage to the region’s infrastructure.

The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council called for an immediate halt to attacks by the Islamic Republic and for full compensation to be paid for the financial and human losses caused by these attacks.
