The US Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Iran must pay nearly $2 billion in frozen assets to victims and relatives of those killed in attacks blamed on the Islamic republic.
In a 6-2 ruling, the court upheld a 2012 federal law over the distribution of Iranian bank assets, finding that the US Congress had not usurped the authority of lower courts in passing the legislation.
More than 1,000 Americans are affected by the decision, which relates to the 1983 bombing of Marine barracks in Lebanon, in which 241 US Marines were killed, and other attacks.
