Iran demands reparations from regional countries that aided the US aggression against it.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Bagai, said that regional countries that opened their airspace and territories to the United States, sent military aid or sent troops must pay, citing praise from senior US officials including the president, the secretary of state and the commander of CENTCOM. He called their demand for compensation from Iran baseless. According to him, the IAEA reports are drafted according to the will of the West and that the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities were illegitimate and illegal, which the agency must recognize. He also dismissed French accusations of Iranian involvement in cyber attacks as baseless and said any aggression would be met with a firm response.
