Summary

Justice Breyer, joined by Justice O’Connor, concurs in part and dissents in part, arguing that FSIA §1603(b)(2) should be read to include indirect ownership of a subsidiary through a foreign‑state‑owned parent corporation, contrary to the majority’s holding of a direct‑ownership requirement.
