The Federal Prosecutor's Office for the Southern District of New York announced that after 17 years of legal battles, the U.S. government has agreed to a final settlement under which approximately $318 million will be paid to hundreds of victims of terrorism supported by the Islamic Republic.

According to U.S. officials, this case was related to a 36-story building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, where the hidden interests of the National Bank of Iran were revealed through shell companies during the judicial proceedings. The U.S. Attorney's Office stated that these assets had been concealed for years, and their income was transferred to the National Bank of Iran.

Under this agreement, $129 million of the mentioned amount will be paid in Esfand 1404, and another $189 million, along with interest, will be paid over the next three years. This money will be allocated to victims and families of those affected by various attacks, including the 1983 bombing in Beirut, the September 11 attacks, and attacks by proxy groups of the Islamic Republic in Israel and other locations.
