Iran has filed a complaint against the United States with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding the seizure of two billion dollars in frozen Iranian assets, which are being held at Citibank in the U.S. The purpose of the seizure was to compensate American victims, their estate representatives, or surviving family members for the harms suffered as a result of Iranian-sponsored terror attacks. The majority of claims were in connection with the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claimed the seizure was “illegal.” He said that the complaint his government filed with the ICJ was in response to “the confiscation and theft of $2 billion of the property of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI).” Iran’s filing followed a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court approving the seizure under U.S. law and the right of those damaged by the attacks to seek recourse to the seized assets.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
