Iran says US must pay damages for strikes on nuclear sites

The United States must compensate Iran for damage caused by recent military strikes on its facilities, Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Tuesday in remarks to Al Mayadeen.

Khatibzadeh said Tehran will file a formal complaint with the United Nations, and warned that Washington must be held responsible for what he called unlawful aggression against Iran’s nuclear and scientific infrastructure.

He claimed that it was the US that first sent messages seeking to halt the conflict, not Iran.

“The US must pay for the damage inflicted on Iranian facilities,” he said, adding that Iran will pursue the matter through diplomatic and legal channels.
