Zakharova asks when the ICC will punish London for bombing Iraq

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, must answer the question of why Britain bombed Iraq and when the ICC will hold them accountable for these actions. Thus, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova commented on Khan’s statement that London did not bomb Northern Ireland in response to the terrorist attack of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

Earlier, Khan, commenting on criticism from the United States and Israel for officially requesting an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pointed out that Great Britain did not bomb Northern Ireland after a series of IRA terrorist attacks, while Israel did The response to the Hamas attack on October 7 is guided by the principle of collective responsibility towards the people of the Gaza Strip.

“He only has to answer the question why the British started bombing Iraq and when the ICC will punish them for this,” Zakharova noted in the Telegram channel.

As Regnum reported, on May 20, Khan presented grounds for the arrest of Netanyahu, the head of the Israeli Ministry of Defense Yoav Galant, as well as Yahya Sinwar on charges of war crimes. According to the prosecutor, Netanyahu, Galant, Sinwar, as well as the commander of the military wing of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Al-Deif, and the head of the Hamas politburo, Ismail Haniyeh, are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed since October 2023.

Washington does not consider what is happening in the Gaza Strip to be genocide and rejects the accusations of the ICC chief prosecutor against the leadership of the Jewish state, said US President Joe Biden. The White House administration, he said, is helping Israel in identifying the leader of the Palestinian radical Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar.

The American authorities deny the legitimacy of the ICC and intimidate this structure with sanctions when it comes to the interests of Washington itself and its allies, stated Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov.

In turn, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted on May 21 that the position of the United States on possible measures against the ICC because of its possible decision to arrest Netanyahu is “more than curious.” Peskov also recalled that Russia is not a party to the relevant statute and does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court.

#3 "London did not bomb Northern Ireland in response to the terrorist attack of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)." That's funny as North Ireland was under UK control, the IRA was funded by Ireland and idiots in Boston.
Is Zakharova historically illiterate or making some point I'm missing?
