The Shah was imposed on Iran by the Brits and the US CIA, No one elected his narrow ass, He was an absolute dictator. The Ayatollah who replaced him was elected by a process that involved the Iranian people. The fact that you do not like it is immaterial. It is the legitimate government of Iran.The assets you claim belong to Iranians cannot be traced back to any court or legislative ruling authorizing the Shah's funds to be given to the thugs who stole his power and began terrorizing the world in their bloody religious Jihad.
And the US had a contractual obligation to return the money it had seized or to pay interest on it. Suppose you buy a house and the lender is a convicted babyraper. Does that absolve you from paying off the mortgage as agreed upon?
