TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President's Chief of Staff Mahmoud Vaezi said imposition of sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) by Donald Trump indicates his team’s anti-human rights spirit.
“Intimidating the ICC judges and staff in The Hague via the unethical method of sanctions shows the White House's anti-justice and anti-human rights spirit," Vaezi wrote in a Tweet on Saturday.
He added that the Iranian nation has shown for years that these sanction are ineffective.
In relevant remarks on Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that international community should wake up to see the results of appeasing the American bullying regime, referring to the US’ recent decision to choke off members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) via imposition of economic sanctions.
“International Criminal COURT now blackmailed by lawless gang posing as diplomats,” Zarif tweeted.
“What else will it take for the global community to wake up & smell the consequences of appeasing the bully?” Zarif added.
“And who else should the US terrorize before appeasers realize EVEN they might be next?,” he noted.
According to the reports, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and Attorney General Willian Barr informed on Thursday of Washington’s decision to impose economic sanctions against members of the ICC who target US officials and allies.
The order follows an ICC decision for an inquiry into the war crimes committed by the US personnel in Afghanistan.
