Pompeo: ‘Iran Is Abusing the ICJ for Political and Propaganda Purposes’

EXCERPT:

POMPEO: "Now let me turn to the ICJ ruling from today. I'm announcing that the US is terminating the 1955 Treaty of Amity with Iran. This is a decision, frankly, that is 39 years overdue. In July Iran brought a case in the international court of judges alleging violations of the treaty of amity. Iran seeks to challenge the United States decision to cease participation in the Iran nuclear deal and to reimpose the sanctions that we lifted as part of that deal. Iran is attempting to interfere with the sovereign rights of the United States to take unlawful actions necessary to protect our national security. Iran is abusing the ICJ for political and propaganda purposes."
