Nothing stopping Iran from joining the ICC. Except that the investigations would go both ways.

- mousethatroared 1y agoPalestine is a member and we all saw what happened there. The US has personally threatened the judges.
- bawolff 1y agoI mean, the ICC did issue a warrant for individuals on both sides of that conflict and seems willing to prosecute. The Palestinian national died in the conflict, so obviously could not be prosecuted. The Israeli nationals are regrettably refusing to surrender themselves, which would be an issue no matter which body attempted to prosecute (unless it was a domestic Israeli court). That is hardly a situation unique to this conflict - lots of people with warrants attempt to evade capture. The US behaviour is despicable, but ultimately it hasn't really changed anything.
