IRNA � Iran's foreign minister welcomed the ruling of the United Nations� highest court as 'another failure for sanctions-addicted' US government.

'UN top court rules that US must comply with obligations violated by re-imposing sanctions on Iranian people when exiting #JCPOA,' Mohammad-Javad Zarif wrote in his latest tweet on Wednesday.

ICJ has ruled that the sanctions imposed by the US on Iran are violation of a treaty between the two countries.

'Another failure for sanctions-addicted USG and victory for rule of law. Imperative for int�l community to collectively counter malign US unilateralism,' the foreign minister said.

The Iranian top diplomat had previously used the phrase 'sanctions-addicted' for the US government when it reimposed the sanctions in May after unilaterally withdrawing from the nuclear deal.

The International media have also described the order as a victory for Iran over the US stance.
