Arab foreign ministers demand Iran pay compensation for attacks, closure of Strait of Hormuz

Arab foreign ministers on Tuesday demanded that Iran pay compensation for damage caused by what they described as Iranian attacks on Arab countries and its closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The position came in a resolution passed during an emergency Arab League meeting held by video conference under Bahrain’s chairmanship. The resolution said Iran bears “full international responsibility” for attacks targeting Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iraq, and is obliged under international law to provide “full reparation” for all resulting losses and damages.
