Anybody followed that? How could Iran be accountable if some who later carried out 9/11 attacks passed through Iran? So weren't they in the US when they did what they did? Would these families sue the US government for letting them in as well? Would this ruling hold up? Could any court in the US make a foreign country pay damages to the US? Who defended Iran in this court? confused


in this case the court can confiscate the money from iranian funds that are frozen in the states
