Iran calls reports of US mulling use of frozen assets for Gulf compensation ‘absurd’

Washington/ Tehran, Jun 8 (UNI): After reports emerged that the US Treasury Department is considering a plan to redirect frozen Iranian assets toward compensating American-aligned Gulf states for damage linked to Iranian military actions during the ongoing conflict, Iran dismissed the proposal as “absurd” and “ridiculous.”
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, quoted by Iranian media, rejected claims that Washington is considering using Iran’s blocked funds for reconstruction or compensation in Gulf states affected by regional conflict.
He said Iran would instead pursue its own claims against all parties it holds responsible for actions against the country.
