NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE

1955 Treaty of Amity was cancelled by Pompeo. He also removed our troops out of the area.

The treaty consists of an introduction and twenty-three articles. It emphasizes friendly relations while encouraging mutual trade and investments and regulating consular relations. The treaty was signed by Mostafa Samiy (the Iranian deputy of the ministry of foreign affairs) and Selden Chapin (the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United States) at Tehran just a week before the second anniversary of the 1953 Coup. The treaty came into force in June 1957, one month after the day of exchange of the instruments of ratification at Tehran. Ever since, it’s provided the legal framework for bilateral relations between Iran and the United States.

 

Clause 2 of Article XXI of the treaty establishes the ICJ’s role: “Any dispute between the High Contracting Parties as to the interpretation or application of the present Treaty, not satisfactorily adjusted by diplomacy, shall be submitted to the International Court of Justice, unless the High Contracting Parties agree to settlement by some other pacific means.” In other words, consent from either side should suffice to take a case to the ICJ.

The U.S.-Iranian Treaty of Amity was signed by the two countries in 1955, during the terms of U.S. president Dwight Eisenhower and Iranian prime minister Hossein Ala. The treaty came in a period when Iran was trying to attract foreign investors through a variety of means, such as a “Law of Attraction and Support for Foreign Investment” passed by the Iranian parliament.
