Hassan
Rouhani expressing regret for the regional disturbances said "The current situations
in Syria which have lead to the poisoning and death of innocent people by
chemical elements are condemned.”
Speaking
in the shrine of Imam Khomeini after his visit there as part of the first day
of the Government’s Week programs, Rouhani added "The application of chemical
weapons is condemned. The Islamic Republic of Iran, itself a victim of chemical
weapons, announces to the global community that it will use all its power to
fight these weapons.”
He asserted
"We believe that regional insecurity, terrorist actions in Palestine, and
attacks on Lebanon are condemned and that they show that enemies have devised a
big scheme for the Middle East region.”
"We
know that regional instability is to the detriment of regional countries and in
the favor of Israel. So we hope that as regional countries grow more conscious,
stability makes its way to the region,” Rouhani further said.
