Criminal Hosts: Bill the Victim.
At the request of Bahrain, the UN Security Council discussed reparations for the Gulf War, with the Gulf member demanding that Iran pay reparations for over 7,000 missiles and UAVs. Iran's envoy, Golmhossein Darzi, rejected the claim, citing self-defense under Article 51 and citing Bahrain as aiding and abetting aggression. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bajai dismissed the claim as baseless, relying on Resolution 3314 to argue that countries hosting attackers are complicit in the crime. Legal researcher Reza Nasri noted the "two sides" doctrine that was used against Saddam: hosts who lend territory to attackers cannot oblige the victim.
