Supreme Court affirms presidential power on Iran hostages deal
The U S Supreme Court ruled unanimously on July 2 that President Carter acted within his constitutional authority to settle claims against Iran by canceling attachments on Iranian assets. Justice Rehnquist wrote the majority opinion reaffirming executive power to handle extraordinary foreign disputes. A separate 7 2 decision allowed U S claims to be settled before an international tribunal with Iran backing a 1 billion fund and replenishment as needed. The ruling supports a pragmatic disposition of a tense international issue.
