Iran orders US to pay $4 billion in compensation for slain nuke scientists
Ooooooooh, scary. [IsraelTimes] Largely symbolic Tehran court ruling blames Washington for supporting Israel in ’organized crime’ against victims; US has no assets in country that can be seized.Although Tehran has blamed Israel in the past for slayings targeting Iranian nuclear scientists since a decade ago, Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....did not directly accuse Jerusalem in its announcement. Iran has not recognized Israel since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ousted the pro-West monarchy and brought Islamists to power. The court mentioned Israel only in saying the US supported the "Zionist regime" in its "organized crime" against the victims. It’s unclear how the court decision, like a raft of previous Iranian cases against the US as the two sides have engaged in a spiraling escalation of threats, would gain traction; there are no American assets to confiscate in the Islamic Theocratic Republic. Still, the court branch, which is dedicated to the review of Iranian complaints against the US, summoned 37 former American officials, including former US presidents Barack Obama They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... and Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... , as well as former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, former Iran envoy Brian Hook and former defense secretary Ashton Carter. Iran also has placed sanctions on prominent American political and military officials for alleged "terrorism" and "human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. violations," in retaliation for the US liquidation of Iran’s top commander, Qassem Soleimani  , two years ago.Posted by: trailing wife 2022-06-24 |
