Oil Platforms (Iran v. United States)
- Oil Platforms (Iran v. United States)
-
The International Court of Justice case concerning Oil Platforms (Islamic Republic of Iran v. United States of America) was a result of the destruction of three Iranian offshore oil platforms and multiple United States Navy warships (see Iran–Iraq War#US_military_actions_toward_Iran). In a unique twist, the legal proceedings and following verdict were not centered around general international law but rather a bilateral trade agreement between Iran and the United States called Treaty of Amity, Economic, and Consular Rights Between the United States of America and Iran. In 2003, 11 years after the initial application was submitted by Iran, the ICJ rejected the claims of both states.[1][2]
