TEHRAN(Basirat): An Iranian Member of Parliament called on the United Nations to probe US use of weakened uranium in its recent missile aggression on Syria.
Member of Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission
Heshmatollah Falahat Pisheh urged the UN to identify what eccentric
materials have been used in US weapons.
The US had earlier used
weakened uranium in strikes against Iraq and the same material has been
used by the Zionist regime of Israel, he told the Islamic Republic News
Agency (IRNA) on Friday.
He also referred to use of weakened
uranium in weapons used by the Saudi Arabian against Yemen as US
violation of Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
The
United Nations should rapidly form a committee to review the issue just
like the investigation it is doing in Douma City for chemical weapons,
Falahat Pisheh said.
Weakened uranium is used in weapons to boost its explosive power, he added.
The US together with its allies, the UK and France targeted the Syrian capital city of Damascus on April 14.
The
US attack on a military base in Homs, western Syria, injured 3
civilians, Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) had earlier reported.
The
media affiliated with the terrorists had claimed that the Syrian jet
fighters conducted a chemical attack on Douma last Saturday killing 75
people and injuring scores of others.
This is while Syria had earlier warned against terrorists’ attempts to orchestrate chemical attack scenario in Eastern Ghouta.
