Iran’s mission at the United Nations headquarters in New York has, in a letter to the Secretary-General and the Security Council President, demanded war compensation from five regional states over damages caused during Israeli-U.S. aggression against Iran.
According to local media, Ambassador Amir-Saeid Iravani said that Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan had breached their obligations towards Iran under international law and should compensate for losses incurred during the war.
In a related development, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command issued a serious warning against threats to Iranian port security in the country’s southern waters, stating that no port in the Persian Gulf or the Sea of Oman would be safe.
“Port security in this region must either be provided for all countries or none of the parties will enjoy it,” it said in a statement.
Spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari issued the warning on Monday after Donald Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform that the U.S. Navy would block Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
He described the restrictions imposed by the United States on the strategic waterway as “illegal” and constituting “piracy,” two days after inconclusive peace talks between Iranian and U.S. negotiators in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) also said it would use new military capabilities if the Israeli-U.S. war with Iran continues, according to the DefaPress website.
"We have not yet used our capabilities, and if the war continues, we will unveil capabilities that the enemy has not figured out," IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi was quoted as saying.
Another military official, Defence Ministry spokesperson Reza Talaeinik, said on Monday that the Iranian armed forces’ capabilities were increasing, with sufficient missiles, drones, weapons, ammunition and other military equipment to continue both offensive and defensive operations, state news agency IRNA reported.
“The capability of the armed forces is on the rise. Beyond the combat power and the utilisation of evolving tactics and techniques, the Ministry of Defence’s logistical support remains active and aligned with the requirements of enhancing defensive power."
He said that the strategic reserves of the armed forces - including missile and drone capacities as well as other weaponry and equipment - had been sufficiently supplied before the conflict through collaboration between the private sector, knowledge-based companies, the armed forces and the Ministry of Defence.
“This ensures the capability for sustained and effective offensive and defensive operations to defeat the enemies in the future,” the spokesman said.
Meantime, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held phone calls with his Omani, Saudi, Qatari, Egyptian and Russian counterparts, according to local media quoting statements of the Foreign Ministry.
Their talks focused on the latest developments in the region including possible Iran-US negotiations and US naval blockading of Iranian ports.
