Iran courts want $50 billion from US in compensation for damages

Iran’s Judiciary Spokesman Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei announces a ruling in Iranian courts for the payment of $50 billion for “losses incurred on real and legal entities,” according to the Fars News Agency.

“Those who had filed a lawsuit against the US, their complaints have been processed,” Ejei tells reporters at a press conference in Tehran on Monday.

Ejei adds that after hearings and completion of judicial procedures of only a number of complaints, Iranian courts have already issued verdicts against the US administration to pay the sum in compensation for the “heavy loss and damage” since the founding of the Islamic Republic in 1979.

Among the accusations heard by the Iranian judges is that of “killing the Iranian nationals by assisting their enemies, including Saddam and different terrorist groups against Tehran.”
