Tehran:Iran has accused Germany of supplying chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein's government during the Iran-Iraq War. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei highlighted this issue as Iran continues to focus on the impact of chemical weapons, positioning itself as one of their biggest victims.

According to Trend News Agency, Baghaei made these remarks at a press conference in Tehran while addressing media reports about Iran's potential use of nuclear weapons. He emphasized Iran's commitment to international obligations related to weapons of mass destruction.

Baghaei further stated that any country that truly values its principles would avoid using weapons of mass destruction. This assertion comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, which escalated on July 8 when US forces conducted military strikes on Iranian territory in response to an alleged attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

The conflict has significantly affected maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz, with Tehran retaliating by targeting US facilities in several Middle Eastern countries. Concurrently, US President Donald Trump announced the end of a ceasefire with Iran, intensifying the regional conflict.
