TEHRAN, April 14 (dpa) – The Iranian government has estimated the cost of the war launched by the US and Israel in February at $270 billion.
Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani told the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti on Tuesday that the figure was a preliminary estimate.
According to Mohajerani, the first step in putting a more complete figure on the extent of the reparations would be to evaluate damage to buildings, after which economic losses and lost tax revenues would be analysed.
She said the Iranian government would seek compensation, adding that this had also been a topic in negotiations with the US during the landmark direct talks in Islamabad at the weekend.
