Russia to US: Iran itself victim of chemical weapons

Pompeo had tweeted that the US “declassified information on Iran’s use of chemical weapons”. 

Ulyanov responded in a tweet, “Something new for me. So far, as the rest of international community, I believed that Iran was a victim of use of chemical weapons by [Saddam] Hussein.”

He also asked, “Why did the US keep this information secret, if it is true?”

Iraqi army used prohibited chemical weapons, including mustard gas, in the eight-year invasion of Iran (1980-1988), which has repeatedly been stressed by the United Nations and Organiظation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
