Best Answer

It is possible in some cases and depends on the type of claim and whether or not the U.S. courts would have some type of basis to assert jurisdiction. It has been done in the past for various reason. Family members have sued foreign governments for wrongful death cause by terrorist attacks. I believe victims of the Iran hostage situation sued Iran in federal court. It all depends on the facts of the case.
