Victims of Iranian terrorism and their family members asked a federal judge to block the U.S. government from unfreezing as much as $150 billion in assets as part of a nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic.

The victims and their relatives said in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Manhattan federal court that the return of the assets will undermine a U.S. policy that allowed them to enforce judgments against the frozen holdings.
