Iran will resist US sanctions as it withstood Sardasht chemical attack: Zarif
The Iranian foreign minister said on Saturday, June 29, that Iran would resist any US sanctions, just as it persevered during the 1980s Iran-Iraq war when the forces of the then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein launched a chemical attack on the Iranian Kurdish town of Sardasht.
“We persevered then, and will now,” Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted in reference to the chemical attack on Sardasht. “We’ll never forget that Western world supported & armed Saddam ... Security Council never condemned his gassing of our people.”
