In Rubin v Islamic Republic of Iran, 583 U. S. ____ (2018), the U.S. Supreme Court held that Section 1610(g) of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 does not provide a freestanding basis for parties holding a judgment under Section 1605A to attach and execute against the property of a foreign state. According to the unanimous Court, for Section 1610(g) to apply, the immunity of the property at issue must be rescinded under a separate provision within Section 1610.
