A judge in the United States of America has issued a judgment requiring the government of Iran to pay more than $6bn to the victims of 9/11 after finding them liable for the deaths.
The lawsuit alleges Iran supported the hijackers with training and other assistance, although the 9/11 Commission, which was a “full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding" the attacks, found no evidence of direct Iranian involvement.
American lawsuits relating to 9/11 have typically targeted Saudi Arabia as the main belligerent behind the attacks.
