Iranian officials have made accusations that “foreign parties are providing the rebels in Syria with instructions on how to use chemical weapons.”

The repeated Iranian statements are hostile to the Syrian people and pose a threat to the security of the region. These statements are only said in order to conceal the real facts and to destroy any evidence against Assad’s regime.

Based on completely false information, the latest Iranian statements put blame on the rebels despite reports confirming Assad’s use of chemical weapons.

Iran continues to support the tyrant Assad and provide him with weapons and munitions as he tries to crush the Syrian revolution.

We would like to remind the international community that it is Assad’s regime that has the ability to develop, stockpile, and use chemical weapons. Assad’s regime is fully responsible for ensuring these weapons will not be used in the future nor will be moved to any other location.

There is no doubt that tyrannical governments shudder at the thought of people being free. This is the reason why they fight against the Spring which will definitely reach all capitals of tyranny in Syria when it is liberated at the hands of the revolutionaries.

We ask for mercy for our martyrs, health for our wounded, and freedom for our prisoners.

Long live Syria and its people, free and with honor.
