For example look to see if Iran is claiming they have a right
to defend themselves or the US is being unfair or bullish.

Interesting move by Iran.
The US hurt Iran years ago so why not sue US
for those things if US is sueing Iran?
Iran has over 190 cases ready to sue US: MP
"A senior Iranian legislator has called on those who have sustained losses as a result of US hostile moves over the past decades to sue Washington in retaliation.
The US Supreme Court ruled last month that Iran's assets frozen in a bank account should be turned over to American families of those killed in a 1983 bombing in Beirut and other attacks blamed on Iran.
Iran has denied any role in the attack, and the money confiscated under the US court ruling belongs to the Central Bank of Iran (CBI). The assets have been blocked under US sanctions.
MP Alaeddin Boroujerdi said Iranians should sue the US over losses during the 1953 coup by the CIA and the years after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
“We expect all those who have suffered losses during the Mordad 29 coup and years after the Islamic Revolution to file a lawsuit so that we can give a befitting response to the recent US encroachment,” he said."

Khamenei stands-up against the US.
Khamenei makes case US is a bully Iran must dictate might to US in Persian Gulf: Leader
"Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Iran must show off its military power to the US in the Persian Gulf waters.
“The Persian Gulf coast and much of the coasts of the Sea of Oman belong to this powerful [Iranian] nation, therefore we have to be present in this region, [stage] maneuvers and show off our power,” the Leader said on Monday addressing a group of teachers.
Ayatollah Khamenei rebuffed the US government’s demands that Iran should not hold military drills in the Persian Gulf."
"“It is the Americans who should explain why they have come here from that corner of the world to mount exercises,” the Leader said."
"“This is how bullying powers must be countered,” added Ayatollah Khamenei."

Iran laying out a case for the US being the bad guy.
US court ruling on Iran frozen assets threat to intl. law: Official
"A senior Iranian lawmaker says the baseless ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States authorizing the seizure of about USD 2 billion of Iran’s frozen assets in the US is a serious threat to international law.

They are owned by the Iran government.
Here they quote a former US Senate policy adviser.
The case is made for the US being at fault. US wrongly blames Russia for Syria crisis: Analyst
"The United States is blaming Russia for the breakdown of a ceasefire agreement in Syria, while US-backed terrorist groups in the region are violating the ceasefire, a former US Senate policy adviser and diplomat says.
“The ceasefire in Syria is breaking down and it seems some of the Western powers, including the United States would like to blame this on Russia and on the legitimate Syrian government,” said James Jatras, who is also a specialist in international relations and legislative politics in Washington.
Some of Washington’s allies in the region, particularly Saudi Arabia and Turkey, are aiding terrorist groups like Daesh (ISIL) and al-Qaeda who are not abiding by the truce, Jatras told Press TV on Friday."

Look at the reasoning.
Iran is trying to stir-up others against the US! US double standards may lead to new world war: Iran
"Iran's defense minister has censured the United States for adopting a double-standard policy in defending its interests, saying such a policy may finally lead to a new world war.
Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan made the remarks at the 5th Moscow Conference on International Security (MCIS) in the Russian capital on Wednesday."
"For the sake of safeguarding its own interests, Washington is employing “double, multiple standards on the main issues associated with the disruption of safety and stability,” Dehqan said, adding, “They use proxy wars, and they impose a heavy cost on the stage to wage the wars. We see a repeat of the situation and there could be a potential new world war taking place.”
"He further condemned the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel for propping up terrorist groups “under the disguise of humanitarian aid, under [the excuse of] establishing a cessation of hostilities”.
“There are countries that created those terrorist groups, sponsor those terrorist groups, and they do not want to lead an effective war until the very end,” he stated."

Iran lays out case for US not playing fair
Leader: US deception hindering Iran trade
"Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the US has resorted to “deception” to obstruct international trade with Iran despite a nuclear agreement.
“On paper, the Americans say banks can trade with Iran but in practice they act in such an Iranophobic way that no trade can take place with Iran,” the Leader told a group of Iranian workers in Tehran Wednesday.
US and European businesses are reluctant to do business with Iran over the fear of being penalized by Washington despite the nuclear agreement which requires countries to lift sanctions on Tehran."

Can Iran win over the Swiss to their side?
Can this add fuel to the fire for a war between the US and Iran? Iran summons Swiss envoy over US court ruling
"Iran has summoned the Swiss Ambassador to Tehran, Giulio Haas, to object to a controversial ruling by the US Supreme Court over Iranian frozen assets.
In a meeting on Tuesday, Director General for the Americas at Iran’s Foreign Ministry Mohammad Keshavarz-Zadeh handed over two official notes to the Swiss envoy, who represents the US interests in Tehran, in protest at the ruling that almost two billion dollars in frozen Iranian assets must be paid to the families of victims of a 1983 bombing in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.
On April 20, the court ruled that about USD 2 billion in frozen Iranian assets must be turned over to American families of people killed in the 1983 bombing of a US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut and other attacks blamed on Iran. The Islamic Republic has denied any role in the attack.
The money confiscated under the US court ruling belongs to the Central Bank of Iran (CBI). The assets have been blocked under US sanctions.
Keshavarz-Zadeh said the Supreme Court's decision was "a clear and blatant violation of mutual contractual obligations" and the US international legal obligations as well as the "immunity of jurisdiction" for properties and assets of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
