Iran To Sue U.S. For Allocating $2 Billion To Terror Victims
Iran has accused the United States of theft and is planning to sue after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that American terror victims should receive $2 billion from frozen Iranian funds. The Islamic Republic has been blamed for terrorist bombings in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. A 1983 attack on a Marine barracks in Beirut was attributed to Hezbollah, an Iranian affiliate group with popular local support, in revenge for Israeli atrocities in the war. Both Hezbollah and Iran deny the claim.
