Rubio Announces Campaign to Dismantle International Criminal Court Amid Iran Escalation

What was said

"Halfway across the world, there's an institution that calls itself the International Criminal Court. Maybe you've heard of it, maybe you haven't. But as we speak, the ICC and its friends are waging a war against our country, not with bullets or missiles, but with statutes and compacts and the force of so-called international law."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a video declaring the International Criminal Court one of the biggest threats facing Americans, announcing efforts to dismantle the institution. The timing coincides with US military escalation in Iran and new Pentagon recruiting campaigns emphasizing willingness to deploy even when 'the mission is vague.' Critics suggest the administration is preemptively attacking the ICC to avoid accountability for potential war crimes.
