Iran has demanded compensation from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan for their alleged participation in the US-Israel war against the Islamic Republic.
Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, called on the five countries to pay compensation for violations of international obligations.
Iravani, quoted via Tasnim News Agency, demanded compensation for "internationally wrongful acts" committed by the states.
On April 7, Iravani sent separate letters to the UN Security Council and UN Secretary-General, urging Saudi Arabia and the UAE in particular to respect principles of good neighbourliness.
The demands arise in the context of a US-Israel war against Iran, during which the United States carried out airstrikes from bases located in the region. Iran responded by targeting US bases in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE.
Iravani's statements highlight Iran's position that the Gulf states and Jordan facilitated the conflict through their territories and support for US operations.
