Iran summons envoy over $2 billion U.S. court ruling - ILNA

ANKARA (Reuters) - Iran on Tuesday summoned the Swiss ambassador, who handles U.S. interests in Tehran, to condemn a Supreme Court ruling that almost $2 billion (£1.3 billion) in frozen Iranian assets must be turned over to U.S. families of those killed in attacks blamed on Tehran.

Denouncing the ruling as theft, Iran warned on Monday that it would seek to take the United States to the International Court of Justice at The Hague to prevent the distribution of the money.
