The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in the favor of the United States. During the aftermath of shooting down of Iran Air Flight 655 Iran sued the United States in the ICJ, with the case being settled out of court. In 1992, in response to Operation Nimble Archer, Iran would again take the United States to court.[4] In this case the ICJ would rule that while the attacks on Iran were not justified, the United States was not in violation of the treaty.[5]
