The flag of the United Nations was flown at half-staff last week to honor the late Ebrahim Raisi, the president of Iran who was killed May 19 in a helicopter crash.
Known at home as the “Butcher of Tehran,” he was responsible for torturing and executing thousands of Iranian political prisoners, minorities, and women. The regime he served supports Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and the Houthis of Yemen.
But wait, there’s more. On CNN last week, International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Asad Ahmad Khan announced that he will seek arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, and Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defense minister. Mr. Khan’s workaround is to declare that he is pursuing these warrants on behalf of “the State of Palestine.”
With all this in mind, Mr. Cotton and 11 other senators wrote to Mr. Khan warning that they “will not tolerate politicized attacks by the ICC on our allies. If you move forward with the measures indicated in the report, we will move to end all American support for the ICC, sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States.”
Do you suppose that President Biden and his ambassadors could have an influence on those countries if they tried?
