The head of the Foundation for Preservation of Sacred Defense Artifacts: America was the first supplier of Saddam’s chemical weapons

According to IRNA, Sardar Bahman Kargar added on Thursday at the unveiling ceremony of the first volume of the encyclopedia of Holy Khorasan Defense, Razavi added: The former king of Jordan, Shah Hussein, said that we were the mediator between the United States and Iraq and gave chemical weapons to Saddam. Due to the presence of 40,000 American military advisers in Iran during the Pahlavi period, the information of the Iranian army was easily available to the Iraqi army.
He considered the holy defense as a rational movement and continued: In all the ranks of the war, the operations were carried out with the consensus and consultation of the forces, and our defense was also rational against the invasion of Saddam and his global allies.
The head of the Foundation for the Preservation and Publication of Sacred Defense Values said: According to the reviewed documents, 36 countries of the world helped Saddam directly, the Soviet Union was one of the superpowers of that time and was the official ally of Iraq, and the Americans also provided them with information and weapons. Now the sacred defense was managed under the leadership of Imam Khomeini (RA) and the people’s resistance.
Kargar stated that he confirmed the holy defense of the Islamic revolution and added: The presence of Imam Khomeini (RA) as a supreme authority for the people to imitate in the holy defense was very important, and with the power of management and vision of that Imam Rahal, the whole nation was mobilized for defense and that’s all. Management shows the prominent position of Imam Khomeini (RA) in the leadership of Iran.
The head of the Foundation for Preservation of the Works and Publication of the Values of Holy Defense said: If the encyclopedia of Holy Defense is a reference, solid, strong, documented and uncomplicated, it will answer doubts. Of course, when some people say that people have doubts about Holy Defense, sometimes these doubts are not related to the people. Rather, these are the doubts that the speakers themselves have found and attribute them to the people.
