Ismail Baka'i, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, on Sunday, November 15, called the request of the Secretary General of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council to receive reparations from Iran baseless and said that Tehran will seriously continue to receive reparations from the countries of the region.
Bakai said: The support of the countries of the region to Saddam Hussein's government in the war with Iran has not been forgotten, and some of these countries have provided Iraq with hundreds of billions of dollars in financial aid, weapons and military.
He also said that the countries of the region participated in the attacks by placing their airspace, water and land at the disposal of the enemy, and the Islamic Republic documented their role.
Bakai emphasized that the military operations of the Islamic Republic were not against neighboring countries, but according to Article 51 of the UN Charter, they were defensive and against the source of the attacks on Iran.
