President Hassan Rouhani has congratulated Iranians on their “shining victory” against the United States at the UN’s top court, saying the World Court’s recent verdict on Tehran’s case against US sanctions demonstrates the Iranian nation’s grandeur in the face of the superpower. Rouhani made the remarks on Thursday, one day after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that it can take on Iran’s bid to overturn illegal US sanctions, which were re-imposed by former president Donald Trump in May 208 after he pulled Washington out of a nuclear deal with Tehran and and world powers.
