Pompeo: US will ‘vigorously defend’ against Iran court challenge
The United States will “vigorously defend” itself in the International Court of Justice against Iran’s challenge to the reimposition of US sanctions, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says.
Iran is set to make opening arguments in The Hague this week against the unilateral sanctions, which were slapped back on three weeks ago following the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear accord with Tehran.
“We will vigorously defend against Iran’s meritless claims this week in The Hague,” Pompeo says.
