World Court: U.S. Must Lift Humanitarian Sanctions Against Iran
---------------------------------------------------------------

The U.N.'s top court has ordered the United States to lift sanctions on
Iran for humanitarian and medical goods and services, as well as
agricultural goods and those linked to aviation safety. The Trump
administration reimposed unilateral sanctions against Iran in May after
withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. The U.S. has questioned the
U.N.'s court jurisdiction and is expected to move ahead with further
sanctions against Iran next month.
