Iran Uses Pharmaceutical Based Agents as Weapons

The rise of the widespread use of easy-to-operate drones has increased the risk of lethal and incapacitating pharmaceutical-based chemical weapons being dispersed in this new manner. The most immediate concern in the Middle East is that the Islamic Republic or its proxies would use such weapons.

This was stated in the report by the Institute for Science and International Security.

Iran’s work has raised concern about their use against civilians and military personnel in Israel and others in the Middle East. An expressed concern is that the use of cannisters of pharmaceutical-based agents in areas of tension or war zones would create instability, harsh
military responses, and panic.

Although the issue of pharmaceutical-based chemical agents is not new, their feared use in war theaters and their easy delivery over both short and long distances by drones, make the issue urgent. 

The organs of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) need to put more focus on the legitimate concern of Iran weaponizing PBAs and being non-compliant with the Chemical Weapons Convention. 

It should also consider whether measures need to be taken for non-compliance. 

It is important to raise awareness to deter and dissuade further development and use of pharmaceutical-based agents.
