The International Court of Justice make ruling in favor of Iran about frozen assets in Washington

In the Canadian daily "Ottawa Business Daily", we read about the International Court of Justice's decision that Iran could begin its efforts to recover billions of dollars of frozen assets in Washington that it says should go to victims of attacks with Iran's responsibility.

The judges dismissed US claims that the case should be dismissed because Iran's hands were "stained" by its alleged links to terrorism and that its court which its stronghold in The Hague had no jurisdiction to decide on the case.

The US Supreme Court ruled in 2016 that Iran should pay the money to survivors and their relatives from attacks that Iran is accused of carrying them out, including the bombing of the Marines headquarters in Beirut in 1983.
