is defending that decision at the international court of justice in the hague just in iran comes to the corner with unclean hands. indeed it is a remarkable shown a bad face that iran now seeks relief from this corner because of the outcome of the peterson proceeding which arose from iran's support for a brutal and deadly terrorist attack an act which the iranian leadership post in iran denied any involvement in the beirut blast but at the time celebrated the incident the u.s. legal team linked today's iran to wars of the past you will also see the name of hassan rouhani the current president of iran who was at the time a member of the supreme security council as a representative of iran's supreme leader ayatollah khomeini. in other words mr president members of the combes there is a continuity at the most senior levels between then and now. as the americans made their case missing perhaps was historical context to the attack itself u.s. back to iraq had declared war on iran in one nine hundred eighty. lebanon was halfway through a complicated civil war exacerbated by the israeli invasi
