Iran says frozen assets are not US war spoils

Iran says frozen assets are not US war spoils Iran has rejected reports that the United States could use frozen Iranian assets to compensate Gulf allies for war-related damage. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said regional governments were “not in a position to demand reparations”, after Reuters reported that Washington could make Iranian assets available to Gulf allies for rebuilding and repairs tied to future damage caused by Iran. In a post on X, Gharibabadi said Iran’s assets were “neither war spoils for Washington nor a payment fund for its allies”.
