Iran Decries Supreme Court Ruling In Favor Of Terror Victims As 'Theft'

The Iranian government on Thursday condemned a U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued earlier this week that sided with thousands of victims of terrorism who turned to the courts for compensation after winning judgments against Iran.

Hossein Jaber Ansari, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, compared the decision -- which would allow victims to collect billions in assets from Iran -- to "theft."
