Iran is seeking substantial compensation from several regional countries and the United States and Israel for the destruction of its infrastructure and economy following recent attacks.
Iran is demanding compensation for the damages incurred as a result of attacks attributed to the United States and Israel. This demand includes calls for compensation from five regional countries, accusing them of facilitating attacks against Iran. To further bolster its claims, Iran is proposing a tax on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Initial estimates suggest Iran has sustained approximately $270 billion in direct and indirect damages since the commencement of the US-Israel war on February 28th. This figure is being actively discussed in negotiations with the United States and potential mediators, including those occurring in Pakistan. The Iranian government is currently evaluating the extensive damage to its critical infrastructure, encompassing oil and gas facilities, petrochemical companies, steel plants, and aluminum factories. These facilities require years to fully rebuild. Beyond industrial sites, significant damage has been inflicted upon bridges, ports, railway networks, universities, research centers, and numerous power plants and desalination plants. Furthermore, a large number of hospitals, schools, and civilian homes have been damaged or destroyed. The government acknowledges that “existing economic realities” limit its capacity to provide compensation to affected civilians. The impact extends to the aviation sector, with Iranian airlines reporting the grounding of 60 civilian aircraft, including the complete destruction of 20 planes. This has resulted in significant revenue losses, exceeding 300 trillion rials (approximately $190 million) over 40 days. Several international airports, including those in Tehran, Tabriz, Urmia, and Khorramabad, have suffered damage to their runways, control towers, and hangars.
