The 120-nation Nonaligned Movement (NAM) headed by Iran accused the US Supreme Court on Thursday of violating international law by ruling that nearly $2 billion in frozen Iranian assets can be paid to victims of attacks linked to the country.
Iran asked the United Nations on Thursday to intervene with the US government over a Supreme Court ruling that allows nearly $2 billion in frozen Iranian assets to be paid to victims of terrorist attacks for which the Islamic Republic has been blamed.
Iran rejected a US court ruling that victims of Iranian-backed terrorism can seize Iranian funds, calling it "the theft of the assets and properties of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
Sending a message to Iran that it will bear the consequences of its support of global terrorism, the US Supreme Court ruled that victims of Iran-sponsored terror can collect compensation in $2 billion from frozen Iranian funds.
