Iran seeks compensation for environmental damage from US-Israeli strikes at COP31

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has made a call for compensation due to environmental damage allegedly caused by US and Israeli military strikes, during his address at COP31. This development marks a significant diplomatic move as Pezeshkian urges the establishment of international mechanisms to address such destruction. The demand comes in the wake of military operations that have reportedly targeted energy infrastructure, leading to oil leaks, while Iran itself has been involved in shipping-related attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. This call for compensation highlights a potential shift in international environmental accountability frameworks, as current climate agreements do not specifically cover military-induced environmental damage.
