the law

Foreign Sovereign Immunities act

Under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (28 U.S.C. § 1605A), Vets, Gold Star families, members and certain contractors of the U.S. armed forces and employees of the U.S. Government may sue Iran for the attacks perpetrated by al-Qaeda and Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq (from 2004-2011).

Iran provided material support and funding to the terrorists and insurgents, which enabled the terrorist groups to carry out the attacks in Iraq that injured and killed our service members and contractors.

The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act allows and we are seeking damages in the form of economic damages, solatium, as well as pain and suffering.

Iran’s terrorism in iraq

During the Iraq War, Iran’s extensive support and direction of terrorism in Iraq were widely reported in the media. Numerous military officials, diplomats, and heads of state disclosed Iran’s involvement in killing and injuring U.S. Service Members.

Public Knowledge of Iranian-Sponsored Terrorism in Iraq

“Iran’s . . . support for terrorist groups . . . its efforts to sow violence and undermine stability in Iraq, including lethal support for groups that are directly responsible for hundreds of U.S. Casualties.”

William Burns, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, July 9, 2008

“Iran also equips terrorists with technology and provides training in extremist ideology and militant techniques.”
