Tehran, IRNA — An Iranian court has ordered the government and authorities of the United States to pay $2.88 billion as damages for the terror attack in the southwestern city of Ahvaz in 2018.

The terrorist attack that took place on September 22, 2018, in Ahvaz left 25 martyred and over 70 wounded.

Following the US moves to establish, reinforce, and spread terror groups such as Daesh (ISIS) and Al-Ahwaz, which made the attack, some 64 individuals from the families of the martyrs and the wounded of the terrorist incident filed a lawsuit in this regard.

Later on, Al-Ahwaz terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack.

These ruthless mercenaries who open fire on women, children, and innocent people are affiliated with the same mendacious and hypocritical pretenders who are constantly speaking of human rights, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei had said on the tragic incident.
