Iran’s deputy FM says Iranian assets are not war spoils for Washington

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on Sunday that regional governments were “not in a position to demand reparations”, responding to what he said ​were reports that the US could use Iranian assets to compensate regional allies for war-related ‌damages, Reuters writes.

Gharibabadi added in a post on X that Iran’s assets were “neither war spoils for Washington nor a payment fund for its allies”.

Reuters reported on Saturday, citing a source familiar with the matter, that the United States would make Iranian ​assets available to Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for future damage caused by ​Iran.
