Iran Demands $270 Billion War Compensation as Fresh Talks with US Loom

Tehran, Iran – Iran has called for financial compensation for the destruction it says was caused by attacks carried out by the United States and Israel, as regional efforts to broker an end to the conflict continue.

Speaking at the United Nations, Iran’s envoy stated that five countries in the region should also be held accountable, alleging that their territories were used to facilitate strikes against Iran. He further suggested that compensation could be structured through a proposed Strait of Hormuz mechanism, potentially involving levies on vessels passing through the strategic waterway.

Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani, in an interview with Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency, revealed that preliminary estimates place the country’s losses at around $270 billion since the outbreak of the US-Israel conflict on February 28. The figure includes both direct and indirect damages, although a detailed breakdown has not yet been disclosed.

She added that the issue of compensation was part of discussions during recent talks between Tehran and Washington held in Pakistan, and is expected to remain a key topic in any future negotiations involving mediators.

Officials say a full assessment of the damage is still underway, particularly to critical infrastructure. Major sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, steel, and aluminium production facilities were repeatedly targeted, along with military installations—many of which may take years to restore.

In addition, key civilian infrastructure including bridges, ports, railway systems, universities, and research institutions suffered direct impacts. Power generation and water desalination facilities were also affected, while numerous hospitals, schools, and residential areas were either damaged or completely destroyed.
