Iran verdict

An Iranian court has sentenced the US government to pay millions of dollars in compensation over its role in plotting a failed coup in Iran in the 1980s. The international branch of the Tehran Justice Department issued the sentence after families of the victims of the Nojeh coup and seven other defendants filed lawsuits against the US government. According to the court, Washington must give 330-million dollars to the families of the martyrs as well as those who suffered damage.
