Majlis approves double urgency of bill on US crimes against Iran
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, May 15, IRNA -- The Iranian parliament here on Sunday approved the double urgency of a bill urging the government to demand compensations from the US for damage inflicted on Iran because of its crimes and actions.
216 parliament members voted for the bill of whom 181 were in favor of the bill.
An introduction to the bill said the US has committed many evil actions to take possession of Iran's blocked assets out of the country and intends to confiscate them using court verdicts.
It said Iran has so far fallen short of taking due action in this regard despite witnessing the ever increasing number of such verdicts or bills by the US Congress.
The parliamentarians also urged the government to demand compensations for freeing of American spies who were released based on the content of the Algeria Accord despite clear espionage charges against them and also the payment of over two billion dollars for the hollow accusation of involvement in bombing incidents in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia in 1983 and 1996 respectively.
The US involvement in the 1953 coup in Iran, its support for Saddam war against Iran and also support for the blood-thirsty regime of Saudi Arabia as well as its direct support for terrorists who claimed lives of 17 thousand people are vivid proof of America's support for terrorism which have unfortunately largely gone unnoticed, they added.
