Iran's Foreign Minister: U.S. Must Agree to Compensation before Nuclear Talks
(Financial Times-UK) Andrew England - The U.S. must agree to compensate Iran for losses incurred during the June war, the Islamic republic's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told the Financial Times. "They have to ensure that they are not going to repeat that [the attacks] and they have to compensate [Iran for] the damage that they have done." Two days before brokering a ceasefire, Washington bombed Iran's two main uranium enrichment sites, Fordow and Natanz, and fired missiles at a separate plant in Isfahan, severely damaging facilities that Tehran spent billions of dollars on. Araghchi said a third, new enrichment plant near Isfahan - which Tehran had days before the conflict said would be activated in response to censure by the International Atomic Energy Agency board of governors - was also attacked. It is the first time Iran has acknowledged the site was struck.
