1980: The Iran-Iraq War this week

Iran and Iraq went to war this week in 1980.    It was a horrible war that went on for almost 8 years.

Sadly, population centers in both countries were devastated and Iraq employed chemical weapons, such the blister agent mustard gas from 1983 and the nerve gas Tabun from 1985.  

Later, Iraq attacked the Kurds to the north.


So Iraq used chemical weapons in that war?   I thought that he didn't have them!
