1) During the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), Iraq engaged in chemical warfare against Iran on
multiple occasions, including more than 30 targeted attacks on Iranian civilians.

2) Egypt's chemical weapons program is the most developed of its pursuit of developing a
weapons of mass destruction program though it is thought this reached its peak in the
1960s. It also used chemical weapons during the North Yemeni Civil War. Phosgene and
mustard gas were used against Royalist forces and civilians in Northern Yemen.

3) The Ghouta chemical attack, was a chemical attack carried out by the forces of Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad, in the early hours of 21 August 2013 in Ghouta, Syria during
the Syrian civil war.[17] Two opposition-controlled areas in the suburbs around Damascus
were struck by rockets containing the chemical agent sarin.

4) Senior U.S. officials report that ISIS forces used mustard gas on August 11, 2015
against Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in the region, potentially giving the religious
extremist group a new advantage in the battlefield against their principal rivals.

The Iraqi chemical weapons program was an aspect of the country's
pursuit of weapons of mass destruction until the 1990s. In violation of
the Geneva Protocol, Iraq initiated three separate research and
development drives for chemical weapons, the first two of which
(1970rCo1974; 1974rCo1978) were unsuccessful. The last drive (1978rCo1991), which was spurred by Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, was successful and
saw the deployment of chemical weapons during the country's military
campaigns against Iran and the Kurdish people.[1]

Efforts by Iraq to acquire chemical weapons date back to the early 1960s
and were motivated by a desire to greatly strengthen the Iraqi military, especially after the 1973 ArabrCoIsraeli War.[2] However, it was not until Saddam took power that the program experienced significant and steady progress. Though lacking stockpiles at the time of the Iraqi invasion of
Iran in 1980, the country rapidly engaged in intensive research to
produce and store chemical weapons, with real-time battlefield
deployments serving as tests for the prowess of Iraqi forces in waging chemical warfare.

Beginning in 1983, Iraqi chemical attacks against Iran were confirmed by
the United Nations to have taken place on multiple occasions ov
