Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian demanded compensation for environmental damage from US and Israeli strikes at the COP31 climate conference in Turkey. He argued that wartime destruction should be addressed within global climate commitments and compensation mechanisms. The call comes after a joint US-Israeli military campaign against Iran in February, which reportedly caused environmental damage, including oil leaks, and may have contributed to a slight decrease in global emissions.
