Investigating the causes and roots of confiscation of Iranian property and assets and its place in the Iranian legal system and international law

The subject of this article is to study the causes and roots of confiscation of Iranian property and assets and its place in the Iranian legal system and international law. The main question of the research is what are the most important reasons and roots of confiscation of Iranian property and assets and how can this action be explained in the Iranian and international legal system? The main hypothesis of the article is that the United States has pursued a policy of confiscating Iranian property with the aim of curbing or changing Iran's behavior, which is a violation of state sovereignty in terms of domestic and international law and a violation of the principle of sovereignty in international law. The victory of the Islamic Revolution brought with it various values, including support for oppressed nations, support for Islamic movements, and anti-arrogance, which are reflected in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This led to a confrontation between Iran's foreign policy and US foreign policy. Accordingly, the United States pursued a variety of policies, from the Eight-Year War, all kinds of sanctions, from the Damato embargo to extensive banking and trade sanctions. The results of the study show that the US action in confiscating Iran's property and assets, considering factors such as decency and lack of effective control, and the use of the law of terrorism have no legitimacy under international law.
