TEHRAN: Iran has rejected claims that the Syrian regime, its chief regional ally, had deployed chemical weapons, saying if such an attack was proven rebels would be responsible, IRNA news agency said Thursday.
"If the information concerning the use of chemical weapons is accurate, very definitely they were used by terrorist groups ... who have shown they will not hold back from committing any crime," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying, referring to rebels locked in a deadly war with President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
