U.S. Sanctioning of ICC Judges Marks ‘New Low’
TEHRAN -- Iran has strongly condemned the U.S. sanctioning of International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for issuing an arrest warrant for the Israeli regime’s prime minister.
Commenting on X, Foreign Minisry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the move mark a “new low,” even for a country such as the U.S., which is “badly” addicted to using sanctions and intimidation towards realizing its foreign policy goals.
The U.S., he said, has issued the coercive measures in line with its way of abusing its power and obstructing international justice.
The U.S. sanctions also meant to punish the court’s judges for investigating war crimes committed by American troops in Afghanistan during the invasion of the Central Asian country.
Baghaei said the sanctions are aimed at “ensuring maximum impunity for Israel’s atrocity crimes and ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine.”
Such moves, he said, have made the United States “the most enduring & persistent accomplice in Israeli regime’s horrifying crimes of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression.”
Baghaei urged the international community to act in response to the deadly U.S.-Israeli partnership, warning that U.S. are undermining international law and threatening the foundational principles of humanity.
