Iran Condemns New York Court Rulings on 9/11 Attacks

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi says Tehran strongly condemns the biased, politically-motivated and baseless court rulings issued in absentia by US courts against the country.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi says Tehran strongly condemns the biased, politically-motivated and baseless court rulings issued in absentia by US courts against the country. 

In reaction to the latest anti-Iran court ruling issued by a federal judge in New York, Qassemi said Iran rejects such cross-border and illegal verdicts.

The foreign ministry spokesman said such verdicts are issued while there is no solid evidence on Iran’s role in the 9/11 attack and in defiance of even the US’ official reports admitting that the organizers and culprits of the terrorist catastrophe were from the US regional allies.

According to the spokesman, such rulings mock not only the international legal system but also the American people,particularly the survivors and victims of the 9/11 attacks. 

Qassemi went on to say that Iran has lodged its strong protest against the US administration through official channels (the country’s Interests Section).

“Issuing such illegal rulings stands in stark violation of the international commitments, law and accepted procedures which call for judicial immunity of the governments,” he said.

Iran reserves the right to follow up on the issue, adopt measures to strongly challenge the ruling and compensate for the possible damages, he added.
