Iran: Israel has no place to comment on chemical weapons

– International News – Tasnim News Agency, the delegation of Iran responded to the claims of the representative of the Zionist regime against Iran at the 28th session of the conference of member states of the Chemical Weapons Convention:

“Islamic Republic of Iran categorically rejects the fabricated and absurd accusations of the delegation of the Israeli regime in yesterday’s agenda of the 28th meeting of the Conference of States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention.” Such baseless claims against Iran, which is the main victim of chemical weapons, have no value other than further politicizing the organization and weakening its technical nature. adheres to chemical weapons and strongly condemns the use of chemical weapons by anyone, in any place and under any circumstances. For this reason, the main position of the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been to prohibit the production and use of weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons, under any circumstances. The best proof is the martyrdom of more than 17 thousand people and the sacrifice of tens of thousands of Iranians due to the use of chemical weapons in the imposed eight-year war against Iran.”

“According to Article 3 of the Convention, each member state is obliged submit to the technical secretariat the declaration of the chemical substances it has for riot control purposes, and the Islamic Republic of Iran has also done this. , has no place to comment on a member who himself is the main victim of such deadly weapons. It is clear that the production of chemical weapons by this regime has no reason other than its use. With the statement of the delegation of the Israeli regime and this regime pretending to be concerned about the chemical weapons convention while it is not a member of the convention and other disarmament treaties, the concern of the member states about the possibility of using chemical weapons by this regime against the innocent people of Gaza doubled.

It is imperative that this barbaric and ruthless regime be held accountable for its crimes over the past 70 years, especially after October 7, 2023. In fact, projecting and accusing the member states does not help this sinister entity and the cause of instability in the turbulent region of West Asia.

It should be noted that the representative of the Israeli regime accused Iran of violating the convention!
