TEHRAN: (APP) Iran condemned on Wednesday "all use of chemical weapons" in Syria, but suggested the blame for this week's deadly attack may lie with "terrorist groups" rather than President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
"Iran strongly condemns all use of chemical weapons regardless of who is responsible and who are the victims," foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghassemi said, while emphasising the need for "the chemical disarmament of armed terrorist groups".
