The Fars news agency reported last Tuesday that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague had issued a verdict in favor of Iran in its 400-million-pound suit against Britain for not delivering Chieftain tanks paid for by the Shah. Fars said the Foreign Ministry had announced that. But the ICJ issued no such verdict. In fact, Iran has never even taken the issue to the ICJ. It is just one more example of the quality of reporting widely found in the Iranian media.
