TEHRAN (Sputnik) — Tehran has prepared a lawsuit against the United States over a US Supreme Court decision allowing Washington to collect about $2 billion in frozen Iranian assets for victims of terrorist attacks, the Iranian presidential administration said Monday.
"Iran can turn to the international court to be granted its rights. For this, a lawsuit has been prepared that Iran will hand over to the international court due to the US Supreme Court's decision to give Iran a $2 billion fine," the presidential administration said in a statement.
In 1984, the United States designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, accusing Tehran of funding and arming terrorist groups.
