TEHRAN – Chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee said on Saturday that Iran expects Iraq to pay war reparations as Iraqis can afford the payments.

“Iraq can afford paying war reparations to Iran. So, we expect this to be done according to the 10 article of UN Security Council Resolution 598,” Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh told ISNA.

He further said there has been a series of remaining disputes between Iran and Iraq that have not been resolved yet.

The war damages to Iran amounts to 1.2 trillion dollars.
