Syria, under a barrage of international pressure, gave the green light on Sunday to a UN probe into an alleged chemical weapons attack as ally Iran warned against US military intervention. Visiting UN disarmament envoy Angela Kane, tasked by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to establish the terms of an inquiry, struck the accord with the Syrian government for a probe, the foreign ministry said.
