Iran expressed on Sunday its opposition to the US decision to give former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein "prisoner of war" status, the foreign ministry spokesman told reporters in Tehran.
Hamid-Reza Asefi said, "Saddam [Hussein] should be tried as a war criminal according to the four Geneva Conventions and, as far as Iran is concerned, the criminal status of Saddam will never change." (Albawaba.com)
