TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Iran has filed a lawsuit at the Arbitration Court in The Hague, Netherlands, regarding the U.S. military aggression against it. This was reported by the Mizan news agency on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, as quoted by ANTARA.
Specifically, the lawsuit, filed in February-March 2026, includes allegations of U.S. military aggression against Iran's nuclear facilities, the imposition of economic sanctions, and the threat of the use of force, according to the report.
The lawsuit was filed due to violations of U.S. international obligations during military operations against Iran in June 2025.
According to the report, Tehran has asked the Arbitration Court to demand that the U.S. stop interfering directly and refrain from getting involved in Iran's internal affairs. Iran also demands that Washington provide full compensation for all damages caused by the U.S.
Iran's allegations are based on the 1981 Algiers Accord, which established the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague to settle disputes and assert refusal for the U.S. to interfere in Iran's affairs.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched an attack on Iran's territory, to which Iran retaliated by attacking Israel and U.S. military facilities in the Middle East.
The U.S. and Israel initially claimed that their attack was necessary to counter the perceived threat from Iran's nuclear program. However, they soon clarified that the attack was carried out because they wanted to see a change in power in Iran.
Subsequently, Washington and Tehran announced a ceasefire on April 7, followed by talks in Islamabad, although they ended without an agreement.
As negotiations failed, the U.S. began imposing a blockade on Iranian ports. Mediators are currently working to arrange a new round of negotiations.
On May 4, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Washington's main goal remained to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
