Iran complains to the International Court of Justice of the United States

Iran waived a nuclear deal in 2015 and brought the dispute with the United States, which began sanctioning it in May , at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Iran urges US to "end immediately" sanctions imposed on re-imposition and new threat of sanctions from May 8 Iran has argued that US sanctions would result in "irreparable harm ".

In the UAD statement, Iran's argument was based on an agreement signed in 1955 between the two countries, entitled "Friendship, Economic Relations and Consular Rights", entered into force in 1957.

The agreement, signed in Iran when the Shah was in power, stresses that "mutually beneficial trade and investment and closer economic relations will be encouraged" while "relations friendly "between the two countries are underlined. Part of the agreement states that if a dispute between the parties can not be satisfactorily resolved by diplomatic means, the parties may refer the case to the International Court of Justice.

The court has not yet set a date for the case. At the next stage, the United States should report on their views on the Iranian thesis.

"We do not have hope"

The Iranian Atomic Energy Agency of the Iranian State also held a press conference on Tuesday and has explained the question.

Behruz Kemalvendi, a spokesman for the organization, said that what the United States is doing is a violation of international standards and obligations under international treaties, which should be registered at least in The Hague.

Stating that Iran hoped to clarify the legitimacy of his attitudes, Kemalvendi added that he did not expect results to come out of the short vase.

US President Donald Trump announced on May 8, 2018 that Iran was withdrawing from a nuclear deal.

After 20 months of negotiations, the agreement was signed with Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council in 2015 with the participation of Germany, the 39, EU, United States, Great Britain, China and France. The agreement provides for the elimination of international sanctions against Tehran for the reduction of nuclear activities that can not produce nuclear weapons.
