US Secretary of State Rubio targeted the International Criminal Court

Speaking at the National Lawyers Congress organized by the "Federalist Society", consisting of conservative lawyers, Rubio stated that the US administration's foreign policy decisions were targeted with allegations of "contrary to international law".

Rubio described the ICC as "fake and illegitimate" and said, "For this global elite, international law is not a neutral set of rules, but rather a tool they use to advance their own interests under the pretext of universal principles." shared his opinion.

Defending US President Donald Trump's decision to impose sanctions on the ICC, Rubio claimed that the court was trying to have a say even over sovereign states that did not accept its authority.

"Americans have never agreed to submit to the authority of the ICC, but that court and its allies have declared themselves the judge, jury and executioner of the international order," Rubio said. he said.

Iran

Rubio, who also made evaluations about Iran, argued that the Tehran administration's acquisition of nuclear weapons would pose a serious threat to the region and the USA.

Rubio said, "Imagine if (Iran) had nuclear weapons. They would hold the entire region hostage, even the United States." made his assessment.

Claiming that Iran, unlike North Korea, is pursuing expansionist policies, Rubio argued that Pyongyang's priority is to maintain the current administration and that it does not aim to invade other countries.

Rubio said that the economic pressure applied to Iran has significantly weakened the country and said, "The economic pressure we are currently applying to Iran is so great that there is no need for military operations." he said.
