Iran concerned over use of chemical gas against Bahrainis

Deputy Foreign Minister for African and Arab Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian voiced Iran's concerns over use of chemical gas against the Bahraini people.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "Condemning the move by certain western countries to supply the Bahraini government with lethal chemicals, the Iranian official regretted that tens of Bahrainis, including women and children, have been killed or injured by use of such chemicals," Amir-Abdollahian said.

Amir-Abdollahian stated that the critical situation in Bahrain is escalating.

Criticizing Bahraini government's indifference towards legitimate demands of its nation, he said the government is blatantly violating human rights.

Amir-Abdollahian then criticized the military presence of al-Saud in Bahrain, adding the Bahraini crisis will be settled only through diplomacy.
