TEHRAN, May 12 (Xinhua) -- The Iranian government has filed a lawsuit against the United States at the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague over Washington's military aggression against Iranian nuclear facilities, imposition of economic sanctions, and threats of military action against the country, Iran's Mizan news agency reported Tuesday.
The lawsuit was filed with the PCA in February, citing violations of the 1981 Algiers Accords and U.S. breaches of its international commitments during the 12-day war against Iran in June 2025, according to the Mizan news agency of the Iranian judiciary.
According to Mizan, Iran has demanded that the court convict the United States of interference in its internal affairs and order the U.S. government to immediately end its direct and indirect interventions.
Iran has also demanded that the United States provide guarantees that it will not repeat those actions and pay full reparations for the damage inflicted on Iran, the report said.
Iran signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015, which imposed restrictions on its nuclear program in exchange for sanction relief.
The U.S. exited the deal in 2018, reinstating sanctions, which led Iran to scale back its nuclear commitments. Negotiations to revive the JCPOA commenced in April 2021 in Vienna, but no significant progress has been made since the last round concluded in August 2022.
During the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. ■
