My last blog post explained that in order to bring a claim under the US VSST act there must have been a death that occurred in the attack. The case requiring this was Borochov. That finding was affirmed on appeal. This means that the only way of changing this result is to have the legislature change the language of the statute. Work is being done to achieve that result.
Bringing a claim also requires proof that Iran was behind the attack.
For Instance in the attack on February 15, 2021 at the Erbil airbase we know that a DBA contractor died so this meets the requirement of an extra judicial death in the attack as required by Borochov case.
