In comments released on Sunday, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi said the
American ship "MV Cape Ray” carrying chemical materials has recently docked at a
port of a Persian Gulf littoral state under the escort of a US Navy destroyer.
The past records of the American ship show that it has been present in some
coasts of Iraq and Syria, where the Americans have taken military action under
the pretext of responding to alleged chemical attacks, he noted.
The American vessel loaded with chemicals has entered the region with the aim of
transferring these materials to parts of Iraq and Syria, the senior spokesman
added.
He further warned against the possible consequences of American action, saying
that after suffering consecutive defeats in the face of the Resistance Front,
the Americans have now resorted to a dangerous way to justify their
"illegitimate” military presence in the region.
Brigadier General Shekarchi went on to say that by offering unproven
allegations, the US and its regional allies have already blamed Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad's government for chemical attacks in the Arab country.
"We have accurate information about the American ship, including the number
of crew and the loaded chemicals, which will be disclosed to the public in the
future…," said the spokesman.
In recent years, the Middle East has been plagued with Takfiri terrorist groups
like Daesh (ISIL or ISIS), which are believed to have been created and supported
by the West and some regional Arab countries.
The terrorist groups, which claim to be Islamic but whose actions are anything
but, have been committing heinous crimes not only against non-Muslims but mostly
against Muslims in the region.
Iraq and Syria have been among the countries gripped by terrorism.
Iran, a close ally of the two countries, has supported their legitimate
governments in their campaign against foreign-backed militancy and terrorism.
