US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dismissed Iran's request for war reparations, contending that Tehran should instead compensate for the instability it has caused in the region. This stance was expressed during a meeting of the Group of Seven foreign ministers in Paris on Tuesday, November 10. "Iran is demanding reparations.
They should be the ones paying reparations because they've destabilized the region for long periods of time," Rubio told reporters. "They're demanding pallets of cash, which the president has made clear is not going to happen." Washington has ruled out paying Iran for war damage. Iran laid out conditions for ending the conflict, including the removal of the US naval blockade, lifting of sanctions, release of frozen state assets, and reparations for damages caused by US and Israeli strikes.
