Syria's new government is preparing to formally demand $300 billion in reparations from Iran, citing the latter's support for the Assad regime and the resulting destruction of Syrian infrastructure. This memorandum will be submitted to international courts, with claims that Iran's actions have caused significant harm to both the Syrian people and the state. The demand comes amid denials from Syrian officials regarding any diplomatic engagements with Iran, contradicting previous claims from Tehran. The legal action is part of a broader strategy by the new administration to hold Iran accountable for its role during the Syrian civil war.
