Tehran, IRNA - Iran’s Vice-President for Legal Affairs Mohammad Dehqan has announced that he and his colleagues have proposed to President Ebrahim Raisi's Administration a time and place for negotiations with the United States on a case related to some Iranian properties illegally confiscated in the US for which Washington has been ordered to pay compensations.

Dehqan made the remarks on his Twitter account on Saturday while referring to the damages that the United States is supposed to pay to Iran because of confiscating the properties.

He said that a proposal submitted to the government has considered the Iran–United States Claims Tribunal (IUSCT) in The Hague, Netherlands, as the venue for holding the settlement negotiations with the US.

The statement comes after Tavakol Habibzadeh, who serves as head of Iran's Presidential Center for International Legal Affairs, said in early April that the IUSCT had issued a verdict ordering the US government to pay damages to Iran within two years over illegal confiscation of the Iranian properties.
