JAKARTA - Iran has filed a lawsuit with the Arbitration Court in The Hague, Netherlands, for the United States' military aggression against Iran.
The Mizan News Agency reported that the lawsuit filed in February-March 2026 included allegations of US military aggression against Iranian nuclear facilities, the imposition of economic sanctions, and threats of the use of force.
The lawsuit was filed for violations of US international obligations during the June 2025 military operation against Iran.
According to the report, Teheran reportedly asked the arbitration court to demand the US to stop direct interference and not to be directly involved in Iran's internal affairs, as well as to provide full compensation for all damages caused by the US.
The Iranian allegations are based on the 1981 Algiers Agreement, which established the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague, to resolve disputes and affirm the rejection of the US from interfering in Iranian affairs.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched an attack on Iranian territory and Iran retaliated by attacking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East.
The US and Israel initially claimed their attacks were necessary to counter a threat they believed to come from Iran's nuclear program. However, they quickly made it clear that the attacks were carried out because they wanted to see a change of power in Iran.
Washington and Tehran then announced a ceasefire on April 7 which was followed by talks in Islamabad although it ended without an agreement.
As the failure to reach an agreement, the US began imposing a blockade on Iranian ports. The mediators are currently trying to arrange a new round of negotiations.
US President Donald Trump on May 4 said Washington's main goal remained to ensure Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
