Recently, there were reports that the United States might use assets frozen in Iran to compensate regional allies for war-related losses.
On June 7th, local time, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Garrig Barbadi responded that Iran's assets “are neither war spoils of the United States nor funds paid to its allies.”
According to Reuters, on June 7 local time, Ghari Babadi posted on social media stating that any actions taken without the consent of the Iranian government to seize, transfer, or allocate Iranian assets would constitute a 'new international wrongful act'.
He also stated that this kind of action would still provoke an appropriate response from Iran. However, he did not elaborate further.
Gari Babadi emphasized that those regional countries that provide territorial or facilities support for aggressive actions against Iran have no right to claim compensation. He believes that these governments must fully compensate Iran for the losses they caused to Iran.
He stated that Iran is committed to safeguarding the rights, property, and assets of its people. It will hold relevant nations and individuals accountable for their international actions. As for the damages caused by the unlawful actions of the United States, Iran demands full compensation.
On June 6 local time, Iran announced that it had launched ballistic missiles at American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The United States military stated that they intercepted six missiles, with the seventh failing to hit its target.
Kuwait reported no casualties but losses of property; Bahrain urged residents to find shelter.
A report released by the energy research firm Rystad Energy in April indicates that conflicts in the Middle East could result in costs of up to $5.8 billion for repairing only the energy-related infrastructure in the region.
