Iran, Russia, China assured Syria not behind chemical attack: Tehran





Amir-Abdollahian also dismissed a recent report by the Lebanese daily al-Akhbar that the UN official had informed Iran of plans to launch a military strike against the violence-stricken country, saying, “During Feltman’s recent trip to Tehran, regional developments, particularly a political solution to the [crisis] in Syria, were discussed.”

The call for military action against Syria has intensified after the foreign-backed militants operating inside Syria claimed on August 21 that hundreds had been killed in a government chemical attack on militant strongholds in the Damascus suburbs of Ain Tarma, Zamalka and Jobar.

A number of Western countries, including the United States, France, and the UK, were quick to engage in a major publicity campaign to promote war against Syria despite the fact that Damascus categorically rejected the claim on the use of chemical arms.
