Iranian Foreign Ministry’s statement about the ruling of the International Court of Justice

The ruling of the International Court of Justice on March 30, 2023 is another proof of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s righteousness and the violations by the US government.

The ruling of the International Court of Justice on March 30, 2023 is another proof of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s righteousness and the violations by the US government.
In the ruling on Thursday, the ICJ rejected all the defenses and claims of the US government and dismissed Washington’s rationales.
The ICJ stressed that the US government has violated its international commitments and reiterated that the US government's obligations laid out in Article 3 (paragraph 1), Article 4 (paragraphs 1 and 2) and Article 10 of the Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights between Iran and the US on August 15, 1955 and that the court has established the international responsibility of the US government in this regard.
After ascertaining the international responsibility of the US government, the ICJ required that Washington make reparations.
The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the ruling issued by the International Court of Justice shows the solidity of Iran’s arguments and the righteousness of Iran's request.
In this important verdict, the ICJ correctly rejected all the fake defenses of the US. It also underlined the violation by the US of its commitments and recognized Iran as the rightful side. The fact that court’s ruling requires the US to make reparations for the losses is the key reason for the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s demand.
The Islamic Republic of Iran considers claiming the rights of the country’s people as an inherent duty and will use all diplomatic, legal and judicial means to demand the rights of the honorable people of Iran and the national interests of all Iranians.
