Initially supporting the Court, the US later renounced all obligations to it based on perceived fundamental flaws. While the UN and most democratic/allied nations endorse it, the US strenuously opposes and actively seeks to undermine the Court's capabilities, causing considerable discord and resentment.

| At no other time in the last 27 years have Iran and the U.S. been poised to take such prolific opposing action.

Remarkably, our military is reluctant and even neglectful in planning and executing these challenging ... |
