Iran dismissed the US National Security Council demand that Moscow and Tehran cease support for Damascus for its alleged use of chemical weapons against militants, and said Washington is just seeking another excuse to intensify its intervention in Syria.
By these allegations, the US seeks to "project the blame on others and spread a false atmosphere to ehnace certain powers' intervention and create a proper ground for pressuring Iran, the Syrian government and other groups which are fighting against terrorism", Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday.
He described the US allegations as incorrect and irrelevant, and said that competent and qualified bodies should first probe the allegation that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons and prove it with corroborative evidence. "Yet, I still see this as a new political game in Syria."
His remarks came after Iranian Ambassador to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Alireza Jahangiri said Iran, as a major victim of chemical weapons, is opposed to all weapons of mass destruction and seeks international cooperation to confront the terrorist groups' use of such weapons.
"We demand international cooperation for denying access to chemical weapons by the terrorist groups," Jahangiri said, addressing the 83rd session of the Executive Council of the Organization in the Hague earlier this month.
He reiterated that the terrorist groups’ use of chemical weapons is a serious threat to the international peace and security, and said, "All member-states should stop providing financial and military support to terrorist groups."
Jahangiri, meantime, underlined the need for complete annihilation of chemical weapons' stockpiles in the world.
He urged all countries possessing such weapons to comply with their commitments to the Convention on Chemical Weapons.
Given the universal nature of the Convention, he also called on non-member states to speedily join the Convention without offering any preconditions.
He also hailed the progress achieved so far in the field of destruction of chemical weapons in Syria and highlighted the need for avoiding political motivations in this regard.
