THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AFP) — Renewed sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran aim to damage Tehran’s economy “as severely as possible”, the UN’s top court heard Monday.
“The United States is publicly propagating a policy intending to damage as severely as possible Iran’s economy and Iranian nationals and companies,” Iran’s lawyer Mohsen Mohebi told the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
Washington has slapped renewed sanctions on Tehran. It said they aimed to curb the Islamic state’s nuclear ambitions.
