Iran foreign ministry spokesman BAGHAEI said on Nov. 15 that certain regional
states actively participated in US and Israeli military aggression against Iran
— supplying weapons, political backing and personnel, and opening airspace,
territory and waters — which he said is documented. He said this constitutes a
legitimate historical and legal claim for Iran and called attempts by those
states to seek compensation from Iran baseless. Citing established international
law, he said a state that provides its territory to another to carry out
aggression against a third state is directly complicit, and states that have
harmed Iran must bear corresponding responsibility.
