Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif recalled today, Tuesday, the “chemical massacre” that took place in the Iraqi city of Halabja during the Iran-Iraq war in 1988.
Zarif said in a tweet on Twitter that “March 16 marks the 33rd anniversary of the chemical massacre in Halabja, and some people are interested not to remember those in the West who supplied the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein with deadly chemicals.”
He added, “More than 5,000 innocent civilians have been gassed,” and he said, “Do you still want to talk about” malign regional behavior “?”, Describing it as “shameless”.
March 16 is the 33rd anniversary of the chemical carnage in #Halabja.
Some care not to remember — those in the west who provided Saddam with the deadly chemicals.
Over 5,000 innocent civilians were gassed to death.
Still want to talk about “malign regional behavior”?
Shameless.
