Judge upholds deal on assets in Iran agreements
The Justice Department defended Carter era Iran deals in courts nationwide and a Washington judge preliminarily upheld the agreements. Judge Gesell ruled the president's executive power over Iran is beyond question and refused a bid to block $51 million in Iranian assets. The case questions whether the administration sacrificed claimants' interests, as many lawsuits against Iran could be shifted to arbitration or erased if the accords stand.
