By pulling out of a decades-old treaty of amity with Iran, the Donald Trump administration is sending a clear message to the rest of the world that it will not accept any challenge to its policy to counter Iran.
The UN’s top court ruled this morning that the US should lift sanctions on Iranian “humanitarian” goods. Within hours, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had announced the US was pulling out of the treaty that the Iranians used to bring their complaint to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
