Iranian Courts Fine US $50 billion

Iran's Judiciary Spokesman Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei announced that the country's courts have issued rulings that fine the U.S. government $50 billion "for the losses it has incurred on real and legal entities."

The Islamic Republic regime's Fars News Agency reported few details on the ruling, whose timing must be considered more than just a plain coincidence. The announcement was made at virtually the same time that reported emerged that Iran and the P5+1 powers finally have reached an agreement on Iran's nuclear program.

Ejel said the court ruled after hearings on complaints, but he left them undefined.

Fars reported, "Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, the US has inflicted heavy loss and damage on the country, including killing the Iranian nationals by assisting their enemies, including Saddam and different terrorist groups against Tehran."
