Iran has dragged Canada to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for allegedly breaching Tehran’s state immunity by designating it a sponsor of terrorism, the UN’s top court says.

Tehran accuses Ottawa of “alleged violations of its immunities” through a series of legal, political and diplomatic measures stemming from the 2012 terror listing, the Hague-based tribunal says in a statement.
