Tehran seeks reparations from Gulf countries after war

Iravani said that Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan had “breached their obligations” toward Iran under international law and should pay compensation for losses incurred during the conflict.

According to the report, the statement was issued in the context of broader regional tensions involving Iran and neighboring states, with Tehran arguing that these countries bear legal responsibility for damages sustained during the war period.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran. On the same day, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes, marking a major escalation in the conflict.

In response, Iran carried out missile and drone strikes targeting Israel as well as other countries in the region that host U.S. military assets.

Iran, the United States, and their allies later agreed to a two-week ceasefire on the night of April 8, 2026, bringing a temporary pause to hostilities after weeks of escalation.

Subsequently, negotiations between Iran and the United States, mediated by Islamabad in Pakistan, were held on April 11–12, as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize the situation.

The talks were part of continued attempts to manage tensions following the conflict, with Pakistan acting as a facilitator for indirect and direct discussions between the involved parties.
