The Director General for Legal Affairs at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Seyed Ali Mousavi, pointed to the four countries’ actions at the International Court of Justice, stating that they lack legal justification.
Referring to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s cooperation with ICAO, he noted that the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s negotiations with those states have not yet been completed regarding the issues pertaining to the tragic incident.

The Iranian official reiterated that Tehran has paid blood money to the families of the victims, adding that it is resolved to take further measures as well.
