Iran's Zarif, on the anniversary of the 1987 Iraqi chemical attack, tweets: 'We persevered then, and will now' On June 28, we commemorate the horrific chemical attack on our civilians in Sardasht, Iran. We'll never forget that Western world supported & armed Saddam--even with chemical weapons. Security Council never condemned his gassing of our people. We persevered then, and will now pic.twitter.com/RLN9dW682T — Javad Zarif (@JZarif) June 29, 2019
