Iran condemns chemical gas crack down on Bahraini protestors

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian lashed out at the Bahraini regime for spraying chemical gas on peaceful demonstrators in the tiny Persian Gulf island, the Fars news agency reports.

Amir Abdollahian harshly criticized those who used deadly chemical gas to crack down on the Bahraini people and those who are keeping silence over the people's suppression, saying that the Bahraini and the Syrian issues must both be settled through diplomatic means.

Amir Abdollahian warned that foreign interference would further endanger the security in those countries and that Middle-Eastern regional affairs could jeopardize the entire regional and even international security.
