Iran has demanded $270bn in direct and indirect damages caused by the US and Israel's attacks, as it remains defiant and regional powers continue efforts to resolve the conflict. Tehran's envoy to the United Nations, Mohammad Azadeh, has accused five regional countries of using their territories for attacks on Iran. The country has also suggested that compensation should come through a Strait of Hormuz protocol, which would include a tax on ships passing through the waterway. The government is assessing the damage to Iran's critical infrastructure, including oil and gas facilities, petrochemical companies, steel plants, and aluminium factories, which will take years to fully rebuild. Despite the damage, Iranian authorities have indicated they do not intend to give major concessions in negotiations with Washington, including on nuclear enrichment.
