Barney ,   USA   (04.25.10)
fashion with a dishonorable regime? Let the money be frozen with all the other assets that are frozen over the nuke ordeal and then when the current regime goes down either through war or revolt release the funds to rebuild the country
2. Surprized Londenstan doesn't have to pay a billion interest.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.25.10)
3. The Brits will get out of paying it, they have sanctions
Avril cohen ,   Los angeles   (04.25.10)
Already in place, not sure why this is any different or exempt. They clearly never wanted to pay it hence it took 30 years of fighting to get this far. Bunnie meyer, you make no sense as usual. But what do I expect from someone with a name like bunnie
4. End the British occupation of the Falkland Island!

5. how about the intreset
reza shah ,   tehran   (04.25.10)
Soon the U.S. shall pay the 25 billion dollars it owes iran and france owes iran 2 billion those western countries are real thievies
6. Boy, The Sanctions Are Really Beginning To Bite
Armchair General ,   Wisconsin, USA   (04.25.10)
7. #1 in that case we should wait for israel to come to its
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (04.25.10)
Senses and then maybe,just maybe the US and the EU would decide to sell more sophisticated weaponry to israel. Fair is fair,right?? Once all settlement buildings are halted,once all prisoners are released and once israel comes into terms with the US on every major issue,then the US should take you serious.
8. #5 Now seriously,whats that got to do with the article??
Alex ,   Stockholm-Sweden   (04.25.10)
Furthermore,if we are to speak of occupation,why don't you end the occupation of lets say,the Golan Heights?? You can lead the world by showing your generosity. Other than that,trust me,the world will not take you seriously in any subject.
9. #1 barney?Shouldn't you supposed to be keeping kids busy?
Alex ,   Stockholm-Sweden   (04.25.10)
10. Keep it in escrow till
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (04.26.10)
a responsible is in place....
11. Establish fund for victims of Iranian terror
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.26.10)
Israeli victims of Iran's two proxy wars in 2006 and 2008 as well as Iranian victims of the 2009 post-election purge which forced many Iranians to seek asylum in other countries. This money can also be used to repay the UN for reconstruction efforts in Lebanon and Gaza.
12. UK is a robber-They still owe two Warships To Ottoman Emp.
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.26.10)
Ottoman Empire broka and arms deal with UK and bought Two Destroyer paying in Gold. Possibly now it is about a few billion USD. However they never sent destroyers. But Turkey paid Ottoman debt to creditors and in fact UK still ows two destroyer to Turkey. Iran is justified to claim compensation.
13. UK to compensate Iran $650 million
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (04.26.10)
Cynthia you do have the best suggestion so far, having said that we should all wake up to the fact that the uk is just another sister arab state keeping the money in the family
14. The Shah is Gone
Christy ,   Boston, US   (04.26.10)
The money is owed to the Iranian Shah's regime, not to this regime. The current regime didn't make any deal with the UK. How can they claim anything having to do with a regime that was overthrown? I hope the British are sensible and ignore this stupid ruling. -Or- maybe they can give the money to the Persians who are trying to overthrow Ahmadinejad.
15. Pay back a -$1-a day.
Roland Seener ,   London England   (04.26.10)
16. #13 International arbitration court at Hague
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.26.10)
The UK transfers funds to international arbitration court. Applicants submit claims. Arbitration court reviews claims and disburses funds to claimants. UN also becomes a claimant and must provide itemized documentation to support claims. Death claims submitted by family members would also be considered. Any unused funds would remain available to future victims with no statute of limitation. Iranian Regime learns there's a price they pay for terror.
17. France owes Israel 50 Mirages!
Annoyed ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.26.10)
If the UK owes Iran $650 million for cancelling an arms deal, then France owes Israel millions for cancelling the deal to buy 50 Mirage fighter jets due to an embargo after the Six Day War.
18. Israel owes Iran $bils for the Haifa Oil scam
