Iranian Patients Deprivation of Critical Medication / Ways to Sue US

2020/01/16 | interview, Politics, Top News

Strategic Council Online: An international relations professor touched on US action to prevent Iranian patients with MPS from having access to US proprietary drugs and said: This US action is worse than resolutions imposed against Iran, and therefore such an action is unilateral and violates international law, human rights and humanitarian law.

In an interview with the website of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations regarding news released concerning restrictions on Iran’s access to medicine of special patients, including Mucopolysaccharides (MPS), Dr. Mehdi Zakerian, said: “After a careful and in-depth examination of the issue, Iran should first report this restriction and denial along with its documentation to the office of the International Court of Justice, in which the Americans are required not to create any obstacles for Iran on the sale of drugs, medical equipment and related financial transactions.

Reminding that the court has already issued a preliminary injunction and should be informed about its violation, he said: “If the Americans ignored this, they would have violated the Court’s order for interim measures.”

The university professor also commented on letters written by Iran to some international organizations saying: UN human rights rapporteurs on unilateral coercive action and its impact on people’s enjoyment of human rights, as well as UN rapporteur on children and other human rights issues associated with these sanctions have duties in this regard, and Iran must exchange letters with such rapporteurs and submit its documentation.

Concerning the duties and responsibilities of the UN secretary general, Zakerian said the secretary general as per Article 99 of the United Nations Charter may bring to the attention of the Security Council (any matter which, in his opinion, may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security); therefore, in addition to the correspondence, submitting reports to the UN Human Rights Council and ultimately to the UN secretary general on violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which supervises over termination of all former UN Security Council sanctions, is of importance in this case.

The university professor added the UN secretary general must announce by submitting a report that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will be officially recognized and all previous resolutions “canceled”,. What Americans do is worse than those resolutions and therefore such an action is unilateral and violates international law, human rights and humanitarian law.

He said the UN secretary general as per Article 99 of the United Nations Charter may bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which, in his opinion, may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.

The secretary general cannot give orders to the United States, but, we have already had a preliminary injunction from the International Court of Justice. Therefore, Iran could lodge its documentation with the UN secretariat and declare that the US had deviated from the preliminary injunction and has not complied with it, Zakerian concluded.

SCFR Online–Opinion: By providing an extensive network of social, healthcare, educational, and post-war reconstruction services, Hezbollah has established a strong social base for itself among Lebanon’s Shiites and Sunnis, and even beyond that, among other segments of Lebanese society, including Christians. Hezbollah has never been an external actor imposed upon Lebanon; rather, it is a phenomenon fundamentally born out of the occupation and crimes of the Zionist regime and itself influenced by popular resistance.

SCFR Online– Opinion: Security and military developments in the region over recent months indicate that the ongoing crises and wars in Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syrian territory encompass broader dimensions of geopolitical and geostrategic transformations. In this context, the increased military presence and control of the Zionist regime over parts of the territories of these areas, along with proposals regarding the creation of buffer zones or even the expansion of security borders, have raised serious questions about the future of the regional order and its consequences for the countries of West Asia.

SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when regional security equations have reached a sensitive stage under the influence of Iran’s strategic confrontation with the United States and the Zionist regime, the question of the nature of Tehran’s defensive power has gained greater significance than ever before. While Washington and Tel Aviv rely on their technological superiority, the Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a model of deterrence that extends beyond the material calculations of the world’s classical militaries. This power, rooted in the connection between “the field” and “the people,” has not only altered the balance of power in recent conflicts but has also disrupted adversaries’ calculations when confronting Iran’s strategic depth.

SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition in recent years between the United States and China encompasses various geographical regions—including the Indo-Pacific, West Asia, the Arctic and Antarctic, and Africa—as well as multiple domains such as economics and technology. Within this context, a strategic competition has also emerged in the Persian Gulf region across economic, technological, and military spheres.

Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

2026/05/28

SCFR Online – Opinion: The dominant discourse in the field of European energy security over the past two decades has revolved around diversification of supply sources and the gradual reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. This narrative, which gained particular momentum after the Ukraine gas crisis in 2006 and its intensification in 2014 and 2022, was based on the assumption that Europe could free itself from the geopolitical vulnerabilities arising from dependence on specific suppliers through investment in renewable energy, imports of liquefied natural gas from diversified sources, and the establishment of new infrastructure. However, a closer analysis of energy trade data and the structure of the global oil and gas supply chain presents a different picture. Europe has not only failed to meaningfully reduce its dependence on the Persian Gulf, but in some sectors — particularly in liquefied natural gas imports — this dependence has deepened. This reality, which is often overlooked in public discourse, raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of Europe’s energy security strategies and their impact on regional power equations.
