Speaking at the National Conference on Resistive Economy and Rural Development on Saturday, Dr Rouhani added: „Today, on the pretext that chemical weapons have been used in a part of Syria, of course it is not clear who has used it and of what kind it was, Syria is under missile attack“.

„However, the United Nations has explicitly announced that it has carried out the required tests and investigations in Syria three years ago, collecting such weapons,“ the President said.

He continued: „Today, it must be clarified how and through which border these chemical weapons have reached Syria“.
