Israel warns US: Iran studying use of chemical weapons
Published
Israel has passed information to the United States that Iran is considering the possibility of using chemical weapons against its adversaries. This was reported on Tuesday by the Interfax news agency.
The agency's brief report does not say against whom such weapons might be used, or what data the Israeli side's conclusions are based on. Details have not yet been published.
The use of chemical weapons is prohibited under international law. The Chemical Weapons Convention, which entered into force in 1997, bans the development, production, stockpiling and use of such weapons. Iran is a party to this convention.
Reports of this kind draw the attention of diplomats and security specialists, as they concern a possible violation of international agreements and a risk to civilians in the region.
At the time of publication, the editorial team has no official comments from Iran or the US government. The information will be clarified as new data becomes available.
