The UN's highest court handed Iran a legal victory over the US on Wednesday when it ordered the White House to roll back some of Donald Trump's sanctions on Tehran.

The Iranian government hailed the ruling as proof that "Iran is in the right" but the US said it was not bound by the court's decision and would not ease sanctions.
