Iran court issues $312.9M judgment against US amid tensions

Iran's state-run IRNA news agency, in reporting the decision, offered no direct evidence to support the court's allegation that American officials had any part in the June 2017 attack that killed at least 18 people and wounded 50 others. The assault saw gunmen attack Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s mausoleum and the country's parliament, starting an hourslong siege.
