According to Foreign policy group of Defapress: Iran's ambassador to London Friday night in an interview with BBC British Broadcasting Numbers said: "The Islamic Republic of Iran considers the chemical weapons to be very serious, and that is just one reason, that Iran itself is the victim of chemical weapons.

"The use of chemical weapons by anyone is condemned," he said. "For years, efforts to ban the use of these weapons have been prohibited in the international conventions on chemical weapons.

He points out that the use of such weapons must first be verified by the international reviewers of the Chemical Weapons Convention and, if proved, punitive measures are foreseen.

Nader Nezhad said that countries, based on their own personal evidence, cannot enter into unilateral actions.

Iran's ambassador to London said: Those who claim to have used chemical weapons in Syria have no evidence to prove this claim, but we are entering the Damascus Inspection Team today, and their work is proceeding swiftly.

Iran's ambassador to London continued: Countries should wait for the inspection team to refrain from any arbitrary action.

He said that the Akari, which is against international law, is an unilateral unilateral move by the United States and its promotion outside the multilateral international mechanism against Syria.

He said that the struggle for terrorism is inherent in all countries, but Syria has invited Iran's military forces along with the Syrian government to counter the terrorists.

Iran's ambassador added: "We are pleased that ISIL has been destroyed today, and this has not happened with international cooperation.

He added that Tramp did not stop his stupid positions toward Iran, and also called Iran a terrorist.
