In a recent meeting at the UN Security Council, Saeed Iravani emphasized the importance of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) carrying out its duties in an impartial and professional manner. Iran, as a signatory of the Chemical Weapons Convention, supports Syria’s cooperation with the OPCW and calls for the full implementation of the Convention.
Despite concerns about politically motivated agendas undermining the OPCW’s credibility, Iran advocates for constructive dialogue between Syria and the OPCW to address any remaining issues. As a victim of chemical weapons, Iran strongly condemns their use and emphasizes the need for international cooperation to prevent terrorist groups from acquiring such deadly weapons.
Ensuring transparency and accountability in addressing chemical weapons issues is crucial for global peace and security. Iran urges the OPCW to uphold its impartiality and professionalism in handling these sensitive matters, emphasizing the importance of preventing the use of chemical weapons at all costs.
