Iran has demanded compensation from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Jordan for damages incurred during the recent war. UN Permanent Representative Iravani argued that these countries violated their international obligations. Tehran's move has increased mutual accusations in the region, adding a new tension point to the ongoing diplomatic process.
Iran has directed compensation claims to five countries in the region due to damages incurred in the recent war. The Tehran administration argued that these countries violated their international obligations because of their roles in the U.S. and Israeli attacks.
According to statements by Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan were asked to compensate for the material and moral damages caused by the war.
“FULL COMPENSATION MUST BE PAID”
Iravani stated that the aforementioned countries "violated their obligations under international law" and expressed that "full compensation" must be paid for all damages inflicted upon Iran. It was emphasized that the claims cover not only economic losses but all material and moral damages caused by the war.
REGIONAL ROLES AT THE ROOT OF THE TENSION
Following the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran during the 2026 war, Tehran adopted a tough stance against countries in the region that it believed hosted U.S. bases or supported operations. Iran argues that these countries' territories were used for the attacks and therefore they bear responsibility.
On the other hand, Gulf countries state that Iran launched missile and drone attacks on their territories during the war, accusing Tehran of violating international law.
MUTUAL ACCUSATIONS DEEPEN
While mutual compensation claims and accusations have increased in the region after the war, experts note that this situation further complicates the diplomatic process. Iran had previously declared that "all damages of the war will be compensated" and made a "blood money" demand.
On a global scale, the effects of the war have spread across a wide area, from energy markets to trade. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks in the region have led to sharp increases in oil prices and economic fluctuations.
A NEW TOPIC FOR THE DIPLOMATIC PROCESS
Iran's compensation claim against five countries is also emerging as a new topic in the negotiations being conducted with the U.S. While the nuclear program and ceasefire conditions are being discussed between the parties, it is assessed that disagreements over the cost and responsibility of the war could make a resolution more difficult.
