British Media: Iran Used 'Toxic Chemical Substance' on Protesters

Internatonal alarm grows after a GB News report alleges Iran is deploying toxic chemical substances against protesters. Former MP Bill Rammell warns of 'delayed deaths' and severe human rights violations as the death toll in the crackdown reportedly exceeds 12,000. A report aired on British broadcaster GB News has sparked international alarm, alleging that Iranian security forces may have deployed a "toxic chemical substance" against protesters during the ongoing nationwide unrest, potentially leading to delayed deaths among the injured. The claim has not been verified by independent sources but has fueled calls for global intervention amid Iran's brutal crackdown.

In the GB News segment, former UK Labour MP Bill Rammell, a member of the Labour Foreign Policy Group, referenced a "credible report" from Iranian-Kurdish sources detailing severe mistreatment of detainees. "People believe some kind of toxic chemical substance has been used against protesters, causing some of the injured to lose their lives days later," Rammell stated, adding that the number of killed and injured is "very high."

The Jerusalem Post echoed the report, citing UK officials and noting "delayed deaths" from the substances, framing it as a potential use of chemical agents in the suppression efforts. Newsweek confirmed Rammell's comments, clarifying the source as "credible Iranian-Kurdish sources," but noted no response from Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (Read More)
