The court issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/files\/case-related\/175\/175-20181003-PRE-01-00-EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">provisional ruling<\/a> that Washington\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/2018\/08\/06\/trump-brings-back-iran-sanctions-after-exiting-nuclear-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\">reimposition of sanctions<\/a> on Iran are a violation of the treaty and ordered the U.S. to lift restrictions linked to humanitarian trade, food, medicine and civil aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pompeo, at the press conference, pointed to the court\u2019s finding that Iran hadn\u2019t complied with the treaty\u2019s nonproliferation language and said the U.S. had been addressing the humanitarian concerns raised by the court independent of the ruling. He said the administration was \u201cdisappointed\u201d by the ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIran is attempting to interfere with the sovereign rights of the United States to take a lawful action necessary to protect our national security \u2014 and Iran is abusing the ICJ for political and propaganda purposes,\u201d Pompeo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tehran was the source of a Sept. 29 rocket attack to the U.S. diplomatic missions in Baghdad and Basra which led to Basra consulate\u2019s closure, Pompeo said Wednesday. He had previously blamed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Quds Force and militias under the control of Qassem Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe can see the hand of the ayatollah and his henchmen in these attacks on the United States,\u201d Pompeo said, adding that he had, \u201cwarned the Iranian government that we will hold it directly responsible for any harm to Americans or our diplomatic facilities whether perpetrated by Iranian forces or by associated proxies of elements of those militias.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S.-Iran relations took a tense new turn Wednesday as U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatened Tehran over attacks on U.S.
