CCTV News:America is out of the group again! On the 3rd, just after the International Court of Justice ruled that Iran had won the lawsuit against the United States, the United States withdrew from the US-Iran friendship treaty. For the rapidly deteriorating relationship between the United States and Iran, withdrawing from the group is only the beginning.
In May this year, the United States announced its withdrawal from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue and restarted sanctions against Iraq. In July, Iran filed a complaint against the United States to the United Nations International Court of Justice, based on the Treaty of Friendship, Economic Relations and Consular Rights signed by the two countries in 1955.
On October 3, the International Court of Justice issued a communique saying that it was initially determined that the International Court of Justice had "jurisdiction" over the case and demanded that the United States immediately stop sanctions against Iranian humanitarian goods and goods and services related to civil aviation safety.
Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif welcomed the decision in a social media post on the 3rd, calling it "another failure to sanction the addicted United States" and "a victory of legal order".
If the ruling of the International Court of Justice is implemented, it will greatly alleviate Iran’s economic difficulties. Because following a series of sanctions against non-energy fields in August this year, the United States will restart sanctions against Iran’s energy industry, oil trading, central bank trading and other fields on November 5, and the situation is urgent.
However, after the ruling was announced by the International Court of Justice, Pompeo immediately said that the US-Iran friendship treaty was terminated, and pointed out that Iran’s past "malicious behavior" made it "absurd" to file a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice.
According to a report on the website of "Russian TV Today" on the 4th, the 10-year US military aid plan for Israel will come into effect on the 8th and will be implemented in the new fiscal year. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomes this.
On September 14th, the United States and Israel formally signed a new memorandum of understanding, which finalized what was called "the largest single bilateral military assistance in American history".
According to this new agreement, from the fiscal year of 2019 to 2028, Israel will receive about 3.8 billion U.S. dollars in aid each year, including 3.3 billion U.S. dollars in foreign military financing and 500 million U.S. dollars in missile defense cooperation program, provided that it must purchase American weapons. The State Council bluntly said that the plan aims to protect Israel from "all potential regional rivals", but the most important thing is to avoid the influence of "terrorist organizations sponsored by the Iranian regime".
Li Shaoxian, dean of the Institute of Arab Countries in China, Ningxia University, said that recently, the United States has been trying its best to reorganize the so-called Arab version of NATO, and one of its important purposes is to "kill people by the sword" to contain Iran.
