Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif announced that Tehran will lodge a complaint with the International Court of Justice in the Hague against a recent court ruling by the US Supreme Court which authorized the transfer of $2 billion of Tehran's frozen assets to the families of the victims of a 1983 bombing in Beirut, Fars news agency reports.
"We have adopted the necessary measures to confront the seizure of Iran's properties and the Iranian government will file a lawsuit against the US at the ICJ within the next few days and we will show the Americans' law-breaking to the world," Zarif said, addressing the Iranian lawmakers in an open session of the parliament in Tehran on Sunday.
"We as an integrated body have faced a group of aggressors who break laws and we should confront them and it is our policy," he added.
Zarif underlined the government's serious intention to defend Iran's rights at the international courts.
