Documents Reveal Washington's Support for Iraq's Chemical Attacks on Iran http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9003190157

New documents recently disclosed by the US National Security Archive revealed that Washington supported the use of chemical weapons against Iran by the former Iraqi regime. The documents show that Washington attempted to block a resolution proposed by Iran to condemn the use of chemical weapons by Iraq.In 1984, Iran submitted a draft resolution asking the UN to condemn Iraq's use of chemical weapons during the imposed war by Baghdad on Tehran. 

According to the released document, the US ordered its delegate to the UN to "work to develop general Western position in support of a motion to take no decision" on Iran's draft. If the attempts failed, the delegate was ordered to abstain from voting on the issue. On March 29, 1984, then Head of Iraq's Interests Section Nizar Hamdoon informed then US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State James Placke that "Iraq strongly preferred a Security Council presidential statement to a resolution…

but to not identify any specific country as responsible for chemical weapons use," the document read.A day later, the UN Security Council issued a presidential statement condemning the use of chemical weapons, without naming Iraq as the offending party. This is while a number of chemical-warfare instances reported by Iran have been verified by an international team of specialists dispatched to the Islamic Republic by the UN.
