Yes, the 80s would have been when the Iraq-Iran war happened, which I mention, so I don’t quite understand the link to the wiki. Maybe you’re emphasizing the “Very likely never existed.” but that was more about the claims used for the invasion that Iraq currently had large and dangerous stockpiles on hand at the time. None were found so either they didn’t really exist then or were well hidden/could be quickly dismantled without a trace. I suspect the former would be more likely—though there is a lot of empty space and finding needles in haystacks is hard.
Iraq had and used chemical weapons in the eighties.
