Iran ordered the US to pay $ 313 million as an offset for IDIL attacks

The verdict was made against the background of exacerbation of tensions between the two countries through confrontation with the nuclear agreement, as well as the ties of growing Iran with Moscow and Beijing. On Wednesday, April 26, the Court in Tehran on Wednesday resolved that the United States should pay $ 312. 9 million as compensation to the victims of IDIL victims in 2017, which killed at least 17 people, Irna reports.

It is noted that the decision was made in response to complaints filed by families of three victims. On June 7, 2017, double attacks were directed to the Iranian Parliament building in the center of Tehran and the mausoleum of the former supreme leader Ayatola Khomeini south of Tehran. Some groups of armed attackers used firearms and explosives, attacking two religious buildings in the Iranian capital, resulting in at least 17 people killed and 50 were injured.

The terrorist group of IDIL has taken responsibility for a double attack, which became one of the most deadly in Iran since the revolution of 1979. According to the document, $ 9. 95 million should be paid as compensation for financial losses and $ 104 million and $ 199 million respectively as compensation for moral and penalty damage totaling $ 312. 9 million. The decree named nine US officials and institutions to pay compensation to the families of the dead.

Among them are the US government, former Presidents Barack Obama and George Bush Jr. , Central Command, Centcom Commander Tommy Frank, Central Intelligence Management (CIA), Lockheed Martin and American Airlines Group. The United States is accused of "the fundamental role they played in the organization and guidance of terrorist groups. " The news published in US media, books and speeches of US officials, which lists the role of CIA in "Creating Terrorist Groups", including ISIL, are also mentioned.

The verdict was issued in response to several US courts that accuse Tehran of terrorist attacks, and confiscation of Iranian assets, given the exacerbation of tension between the two countries due to the confrontation with the nuclear agreement, as well as the relations of growing Iran with Russia and China. We will remind, on April 25 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to submit to the NSDC proposals for the use of sectoral sanctions against Iran. Restrictions are proposed for 50 years.

On April 24, The Wall Street Journal reported that over 300,000 artillery shells and a million ammunition from Iran to Russia have been transported in the last six months. The last party of Iranian weapons, which crossed the Caspian Sea, was sent in early March. On April 12, the media wrote that China and Russia were conducting secret negotiations with Iran on supply to the Islamic Republic of a key chemical compound used for fuel production for ballistic missiles.
