Iran has strongly criticized the United States’ efforts to dissuade nations from collaborating with the International Criminal Court (ICC). Tehran labeled the US campaign as a blatant attempt at “blackmail and intimidation” designed to obstruct the pursuit of justice. This condemnation comes as Washington actively pressures countries to cease cooperation with the ICC, likely related to potential investigations involving US allies or citizens. Iranian officials view these actions as a direct assault on international legal institutions and the principle of accountability. The statement underscores Iran’s support for the ICC’s mandate, despite its own complex relationship with international tribunals. This rebuke highlights the growing friction between Iran and the US on the global stage and their differing views on international law and sovereignty.
