Wahiawā Veteran Wins Lawsuit Against Iran for War Injuries

Jun 20, 2025

AWKO is proud to stand with Staff Sgt. Kurt Taito of Wahiawā and over 400 other U.S. veterans and families who have achieved a groundbreaking legal victory against the Islamic Republic of Iran. In a recent ruling, a U.S. District Court found Iran liable for supporting terrorist attacks that injured or killed American servicemembers during the War on Terror, affirming the right of veterans like Sgt. Taito to seek justice and compensation through the U.S. Victims of State-Sponsored Terrorism Fund.

As Sgt. Taito shared, “Being part of this case is my way of standing up for others like me; keeping the fight alive; and remembering Sgt. Jacob Simpson. It’s part of my healing, and my hope that more veterans get access to additional financial support they’ve earned after being injured in Iraq or Afghanistan in the War on Terror.”
