Velayati warns that silence undermines chemical-war prohibitions

Iranian forces and Iraqi Kurdish fighters took Halabja during the Dawn 10 offensive. Iraqi aircraft attacked the city with chemical weapons the next day; that attack is a separate record in Batch 001.

Iraq launched another missile barrage at Tehran and bombed other Iranian cities. Its pressure for a ceasefire coexisted with renewed harm to residential areas.

Mahallati’s follow-up dated the alleged Garmab chemical attack to 11 March, whereas the earlier letter gave 12 March. He also supplied preliminary Iranian casualty figures.

Iran alleged large-scale chemical use in the Val Fajr 10 theatre and Iraqi Kurdish areas, invoking the Geneva Protocol and demanding UN action to stop further use.

Mahallati alleged a chemical attack on a Kurdish immigrant camp near Marivan and requested an urgent on-site inquiry while evidence was still available.

Mahallati alleged chemical bombing of villages along the Sanandaj–Marivan road and renewed Iran’s request for a UN investigation. The reported injuries and deaths were Iranian claims.

Mashhadi reported Halabja and Iranian border-village chemical allegations to the Conference on Disarmament, urging a prompt UN inquiry before traces disappeared.

Mahallati reported alleged chemical attacks around Sardasht on 22 March and urged international action, adding further civilian allegations to Iran’s requests for investigation.

The secretary-general decided to send a medical specialist to Iran after its chemical-weapons complaints, setting the terms for the March clinical investigation.

Iran transmitted a letter concerning chemical weapons use to the United Nations. The submission continued Tehran’s effort to secure international attention during the war’s final months.
