Iran: World in search of disarmament
Tehran, June 30, IRNA – Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) said that the world should demand complete disarmament and direct its request toward the USA and other countries which own mass-destruction weapons.
Saeed Jalili made the remarks in the first International Exhibition for Peace Envoys here on Tuesday afternoon, which was held on commemoration of the victims of the chemical bombardment of Iran’s western city of Sardasht by toppled Saddam Hussein regime.
He wondered why the day June 29 is unknown in international circles, while September 11 enjoyed another situation.
Jalili stressed that five big powers which have veto rights in the UNSC are capable of formulating world relations upon these arsenals.
He added that these powers are now in a claimant position thanks to the media and this is a bitter irony in the contemporary history.
The SNSC secretary asked "who used more than 72 million liters of chemical materials in Vietnam and who destroyed 500 thousand hectares of Vietnam soil? Who equipped Iraqi regime during 1980s by chemical weapons? While the UN Security Council never issued a resolution against Saddam.
And now the same Security Council is issuing resolution against Iran for manufacturing a centrifuge.
Why we should shout for human rights violation of 12 thousand martyrs and 100 thousand wounded in Sardasht and Halabche cities? Aren't those countries which delivered these weapons to Iraq guilty?"
He said he was sure the incidents in Halabche and Sardasht were not the last crimes and the world would expect repetition of such crimes, especially by the USA, which is unwilling to destroy its chemical weapons.
Jalili continued that this indicates that they wanted to use them again.
Referring to failure of the US and Britain governments to control an oil well in Gulf of Mexico, Jalili wondered how can these countries guarantee to secure their mass-destruction arsenals?
The commemoration was held on the occasion of National Day of Anti-chemical weapons. A number of foreign ambassadors and diplomats including those from Vietnam, Iraq, Japan, Belgium and Iran, whose people have suffered chemical and microbiological weapons attended the event./end
