TEHRAN (Tasnim) The Iranian Foreign Ministrys spokesperson decried the US decision to impose sanctions against four judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

- news -

This is a new low - even for a system that is badly addicted to advancing its foreign policy through coercion & intimidation - to sanction & harass ICC judges and personnel for holding up to their judicial mandate, Esmaeil Baqaei said in a post on his X account on Saturday night.

The US continues to abuse its power, in line with vetoing UNSC's most recent resolution to stop genocide, so as to ensure maximum impunity for Israel's atrocity crimes & ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine, he added.

This makes United States the most enduring & persistent accomplice in Israeli regimes horrifying crimes of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and aggression, Baqaei stated.

It's high time the int'l community stood up against such barbarism that is shaking the whole fabric of int'l law and unsettling the basic tenets of humanity, the Iranian spokesman added.
