Iran Sues U.S. Before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague

**The Islamic Republic of Iran has filed a lawsuit against the United States of America before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, citing military aggression against Iranian nuclear facilities, the imposition of economic sanctions, and the threat of use of force.
According to the Mehr News Agency, the Iranian government based its claim on the provisions of the 1981 Algiers Accords, accusing the U.S. of violating international obligations during the "12-day war" against Iran.
The lawsuit was officially registered at the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in March 2026.
In the merits of the case, filed under Case No. (A-34), the Islamic Republic relied on Article I of the Algiers Accords, detailing instances of Washington’s breach of obligations during the recent war, as well as its policy of sanctions and military threats.
Iran requested the court to condemn the United States and compel it to immediately cease all direct and indirect interference in Iranian internal affairs.
Tehran also demanded guarantees of non-repetition and full compensation for all damages incurred by the country.
Article I of the Algiers Accords stipulates the U.S. government's commitment not to intervene in Iran's internal affairs, whether directly or indirectly, through political or military means.
