By GlobalDataIran has accused the US of violating the 1955 peace agreement between the two nations by re-imposing sanctions after the Trump administration pulled out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action earlier this year.
More specifically, the complaint is in regards to the seizure of Iranian assets in the US. Iranian banks such as the Central Bank of Iran and Bank Markazi had assets seized.
Last week US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the US would terminate the Treaty of Amity after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in a similar case that the US should relax sanctions on Iran.
The hearings will take place at the ICJ in The Hague, The Netherlands.
