Iran says war reparations among issues raised in talks with U.S. in Islamabad

Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani told Russian media that one of the topics discussed in talks with the United States in Islamabad last weekend was the issue of war reparations, Iran's state news agency IRNA reports.

She said Iranian economic officials are assessing the extent of the damage from attacks, noting that losses must be evaluated on multiple levels.

According to Mohajrani, some damage is the physical destruction of buildings while other damage stems from the shutdown or disruption of oil and petrochemical production facilities.

Iran has been charging vessels it lets through the Strait of Hormuz a fee as one way of raising revenue.

But now the U.S. is blockading traffic through the strait that comes from Iranian ports, effectively cutting off both oil revenue and transit income.
