THE HAGUE -- The United Nations' top court on Wednesday ordered the United States to lift sanctions on "humanitarian" goods to Iran that President Donald Trump re-imposed after pulling out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) unanimously ruled that Washington "shall remove by means of its choosing any impediments arising from the measures announced on May 8 to the free exportation to Iran of medicines and medical devices, food and agricultural commodities" as well as airplane parts, said judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf.
The court said sanctions on goods "required for humanitarian needs... may have a serious detrimental impact on the health and lives of individuals on the territory of Iran."
U.S. sanctions on aircraft spare parts also had the "potential to endanger civil aviation safety in Iran and the lives of its users".
Mr. Trump slapped a first round of sanctions on Iran in August after pulling out of the historic deal aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear ambitions in May, to the dismay of his European allies. A second round of punitive measures is due in November.

Apparently they weren't listening to President Trump's speech last week. President Trump said, "Sorry, but you guys in the UN court have no jurisdiction in this country. Go pound sand."

How did it come to pass that there even is a “UN court”
Sounds like a bad idea no matter what.

(1) The ICJ has no jurisdiction over the United States. (2) President Trump’s response should be to cut all funding to the U.N.

And let Nikky Hailey tell the UN to go to hell, as she's been saying in similar words. What an amazing woman! She's got it all and one of Pres. Trump's best appointees. Oh wait, Trump is a misogynist according to the socialist bull dykes.
Sorry, I lost my place as a man who supposedly hates all women because I won't believe their unsubstantiated accusations. I'm a privileged white horrific man and deserve to die/castrated according to Professor Fair at Georgetown U.?

I’m sure a quick solution would be Iran pulling all support for Hamas and pulling all their military assistance from the region.
But then again, I’m also sure that’s not going to happen, nor will the UN even back such a thing.
