 Posted: 04/28/04 - 13:45 Post subject: Iranian court rules against US
|
|
|
I'm always sort of amused at seeing US courts award US citizens huge damage awards against countries like Iran and Iraq for various things they've done. Looks like Iran's trying to turn the tables. Made me chuckle at first, but then it struck me that it's maybe not all that far fetched. Not that they'd ever collect. I wonder if countries will start suing each other in self defense, they way companies file patents against each other in self defense these days.
| Quote: | TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian court has ruled the United States should pay $600 million in compensation for supplying ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons, the official IRNA news agency said on Wednesday.
IRNA said the money in the case, brought by Iranian war veterans and disabled, should be paid to survivors of attacks on the town of Sardasht which borders Iraq.
Iraqi gas attacks killed thousands of Iranians and Iraqi Kurds in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. Hundreds of thousands died on both sides and Iran has thousands disabled by chemical arms.
No further details were available and Iranian officials were unavailable for any immediate comment.
"The court has ordered the American government to pay the money for furnishing Saddam with chemical weapons to attack Iran," IRNA reported.
The United States and Iran have been at odds since 1979 when more than 50 Americans were held hostage by Iranian student militants at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for 444 days after the Islamic revolution.
The verdict was submitted to the Swiss Embassy which has covered U.S. interests in Iran since Washington cut ties with Tehran in 1980. |

Fine. We want $601 Million in compensation for them holding our people hostage in '79.
So they owe us 1 million.

If by "court" you mean "7 old men squatting on dusty mats in an empty room with cracked plaster walls", then I agree.
