UN court says it can hear case brought by Iran against US sanctions

2021-02-04

Did the court receive, or anticipate receiving, information that the Biden administration is not interested in defending continuing U.S. sanctions against Iran?

[IsraelTimes] The United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
’ highest court rules that it can hear a case brought by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
against the United States in a bid to end sanctions the Trump administration re-imposed in 2018 after pulling out of an international deal aimed at curtailing Tehran’s nuclear program.

Lawyers for the United States argued at hearings last year that the case should be thrown out by the International Court of Justice for lack of jurisdiction and admissibility.

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
the court’s president, Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf, says that judges rejected US arguments.

Iran filed the case in July 2018 a few months after then-US president Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
said he was pulling the US out of a 2015 international agreement over Iran’s nuclear program and would re-impose sanctions on Tehran. Washington also threatened other countries with sanctions if they don’t cut off Iranian oil imports by early November.

In its case, Iran alleges that the sanctions breach a 1955 bilateral agreement known as the Treaty of Amity that regulates and promotes economic and consular ties between the two countries.

That treaty was made between the U.S. and the government of the Shah of Iran. His son now holds court in exile — in Europe somewhere, I think — while Iran’s government has belonged to the Mad Mullahs since they took it by violence in 1979... and started their war against The Great Satan by holding the staff of the American hostage, a war crime. There is no friendship with dishonorable enemies.

The ruling Wednesday comes as new US President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

...Candidate for president in 2020. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
is seeking to enhance diplomacy toward Iran while Washington looks at restoring constraints on the country’s nuclear program and reining in its regional ambitions.
