TEHRAN, Nov. 15 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has said that those countries provided their territories and airspaces for attacks against Iran must pay compensation.

Speaking at his weekly press briefing on Sunday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei reiterated that countries provided their airspaces and territories for attacks against Iran must pay compensation, noting that US actions made international community deeply distrustful of its diplomatic claims.

Hereunder the the questions raised by reporters and the spokesperson answered their questions.

IAEA’s one-sided reporting has damaged its credibility.

Regarding the manner in which the agency’s reports are released, he stated: that the UN nuclear watchdog suffers from a structural problem, as its reports frequently end up in Western media.

Influenced by the biased approaches of certain US officials and several European countries, the international nuclear body persists in its established pattern: one-sided reporting concerning Iran’s nuclear program. This trend not only undermines the Agency’s credibility as the competent international authority on nuclear matters but also entails accountability for the agency itself.

No US aggression against Iran to go unanswered.

Iran will not leave any act of military aggression unanswered, the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry warned, stressing that the country relies on its own capabilities and does not pin its hopes on other parties, Baghaei noted.

Continuation of Israeli crimes in Gaza and West Bank

One issue that should be taken into serious consideration is that the Zionist regime is continuing its campaign of genocide against Palestinians, even throughout the winter season, he said, stating the catastrophic situation in Gaza pains the conscience of every free human being. Across Gaza, Palestinian people continue to grapple with all manner of atrocities.

In the West Bank, too, “we are witnessing ongoing attacks, the demolition of Palestinian homes, and widespread arrests.”

Islamic countries are duty bound to take practical step in support of Palestine.

Expressing the oppression of Palestine is shouting for humanity, he said, calling on the Islamic countries to take practical action in this regard.

The issue of Palestine is the issue of humanity that must be taken into consideration, he added.

Regional states must be held accountable for damages inflicted on Iran.

Turning to the damages inflicted as a result of waging war by the US and Israel on the country, the foreign ministry spokesman stated that the regional states must be held accountable for the damages inflicted on Iran.

In response to the remarks raised by the secretary-general of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC), who held Iran responsible for attacks on Persian Gulf littoral states, and called Iran for reparations, Baghaei categorically rejected the remarks of the secretary general.

Baghaei warned that regional countries and the PGCC secretary-general should remember their all-out support for former Iraqi’s Baath regime, under deposed Saddam Hussein, in waging war against Iran and Iranian people will never forget this issue.

There is now no doubt that several hundred billion dollars in aid were provided to the deposed Saddam regime by certain countries in the region.

The provision of arms and military equipment, the deployment of troops and soldiers, all of these instances are documented, and the Iranian people have a historical claim regarding them, he said, adding, “Given that these nations actively participated in military aggression against a neighboring country, putting their airspace, waters, and territory at the disposal of those attacking Iran, how can they possibly

speak of receiving reparations from Iran?

The damages and losses inflicted upon Iran, both directly and indirectly, stem from the actions of certain regional states. Those countries that played a direct or indirect role in the aggression against Iran are considered accomplices and abettors of the aggressors, and they share responsibility for the crimes committed within Iran.”

Countries that provided territory and airspace for attacks on Iran must pay compensation, he reiterated, adding that ountries involved in aggression against Iran have no legal grounds to demand compensation.

Esmaeil Baghaei cautioned the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) against fueling regional tensions, recalling the Persian Gulf states' past support for former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during the Iran–Iraq War.

Iran's actions against US bases, assets have been defensive in nature.

Baghaei emphasized that Iran has taken no action against the national sovereignty of neighboring countries. Iran’s actions have been strictly defensive in nature and have targeted US bases and assets.

Iran will not waive its right to use nuclear energy.

In response to a question about whether the United States, in its proposals, has included a plan to compel Iran to abandon its nuclear program, Baghaei stated, “From the outset, the declared policy of the United States has been aimed at getting Iran to relinquish its right to utilize nuclear energy.

Iran is not a party that would forgo a fundamental, sovereign right, a right it possesses under Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)."

Claim of Iran attack on French cooling systems “absurd and baseless”.
