Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether a JASTA claim for civil conspiracy requires only that acts of international terrorism be a foreseeable consequence of the terrorism sanctions evasion conspiracy Respondents joined or, as the court below required, that (1) Respondents themselves shared a common intent to commit acts of international terrorism or (2) that the terrorists somehow directly assisted Respondents in evading the terrorism sanctions.

2. Whether JASTA civil conspiracy liability reaches a conspiracy that furthers acts of international terrorism by knowingly enabling material support for FTOs or, as the court below held, only a conspiracy that—conversely—is furthered by acts of international terrorism.
