Iran calls on Germany to reveal its role in arming Saddam with chemical weapons

TEHRAN (Iran News Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has demanded the West’s accountability for the use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War, urging Germany to reveal its part in arming former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein with such weapons.

Baqaei issued the call in a post on his X account on Saturday, saying, “Today marks the anniversary of a chemical attack in the Iranian city of Sardasht where the toppled regime of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein killed at least 110 people and wounded 8,000 others on June 28, 1987.”

“Germany must accept its legal and moral responsibility by revealing the truth about its role in Iraq’s chemical weapons program,” he said.

The spokesperson noted that the painful event in Sardasht was not the first of its kind, as the Iraqi dictator repeatedly attacked Iranian soldiers and civilians using chemical gases, without being held accountable or punished by the international community.
