| US cancels 1955 Treaty of Amity with Iran after UN court ruling | |
| 2018-10-04 | |
| [PRESSTV] US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says Washington is canceling a 1955 treaty with Tehran after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered the United States to halt the unilateral sanctions it recently re-imposed on "humanitarian" supplies to Iran. "I’m announcing that the United States is terminating the 1955 Treaty of Amity with Iran, this is a decision that is 39 years overdue," Pompeo told news hounds Wednesday at the State Department. "In July, Iran brought a meritless case in the International Court of Justice alleging violations of the Treaty of Amity," Pompeo said. "We're disappointed that the court failed to recognize that it has no jurisdiction to issue any order relating to these sanctions measures with the United States, which is doing its work on Iran to protect its own essential security interests," he added. "Iran has attempted to interfere with the sovereign rights of the United States to take lawful actions as necessary to protect our national security and Iran is abusing the ICJ for political and propaganda purposes," the top American diplomat said. He claimed the United States would work to ensure it is providing humanitarian assistance to the Iranian people.
