Iran has dragged the US before the International Court of Justice over its sanctions against the Islamic Republic. The ICJ began hearing Irans arguments on Monday. The countrys representative at the hearing said the US sanctions are designed to exact the heaviest possible damage to the Iranian people. Iran lodged a lawsuit against the US with the International Criminal Court of Justice Last month on the grounds that the U-S sanctions violate the terms of a 19-55 treaty between Tehran and Washington and that the measures must be lifted.
