On two occasions the Iranian government has offered compensation. One was in the days immediately after the truth was revealed. You remember the Prime Minister's news conference, at which he indicated that intelligence made it abundantly clear what had happened, that PS752 had been shot down by Iranian missiles. In the wake of that disclosure by the Prime Minister, Iran admitted its responsibility, said there would be an investigation, said there would be prosecutions and said there would be compensation. That was useful. That was a step forward in the first few days after the incident happened.
Earlier this year, they unilaterally came forward with an offer, if you will—at least a speculated offer—of a certain amount of money per victim.
The point is that they don't get to decide compensation unilaterally. They have committed an internationally wrongful act. The international conventions and the traditions of international law will say that they are obliged to engage in negotiations with the injured countries. I specified earlier what countries those are. It's those negotiations that will determine the appropriate amount of compensation.
Yes, the negotiations for reparations will seek appropriate compensation right up to the high standards of the world. We will insist on that being properly recognized. It will come out of a negotiating process. It's not something Iran can dictate unilaterally.
