US urges UN court to toss out Iranian frozen assets case
Fox News
The US urged the International Court of Justice to throw out a case where Iran seeks to take back frozen assets awarded by the US Supreme Court to victims of a 1983 bombing in Lebanon.
"Iran’s case should be dismissed in its entirety based on the principle of unclean hands," Visek told the judges sitting in the court's Great Hall of Justice.
"The essence of this threshold defense is that Iran’s own egregious conduct, its sponsorship of terrorist acts directed against the United States and U.S. nationals, lies at the very core of its claims," Visek said.
