Iran’s foreign minister has blasted the Western countries that provided former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein with deadly chemicals, but now “care not to remember” his massacre of Iraqi people with the same weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).

FM Zarif insists Iran and Kurds of Iraq will never allow chemical massacre of Halabja to be whitewashed.

Kurds in Iraq mark 30 years since a deadly chemical attack on the town of Halabja by Saddam Hossein.

Some 5,000 people lose their lives when Iraq’s former Ba’athist regime dropped chemical bombs on Halabja.
