Israel warns the US against Iran's possible use of chemical weapons According to the "New York Times", the Israeli intelligence services provided the American side with intelligence data according to which Tehran is considering the possibility of using chemical weapons against its opponents. Israel claims that Iran is rapidly developing technologies for supplying chemical munitions, including mounting them on missiles. During consultations, Israeli officials described the threat as more urgent than Iran's nuclear program. However, Washington reacted ambiguously to the information received. Some American officials see the threat as serious, while others see Israel's statements as an attempt to convince the Trump administration to resume large-scale military operations against Iran. The Gulf states received similar warnings. According to the news, some of the representatives of these countries doubted the reliability of the Israeli assessments, since no supporting evidence was presented to them. Under the same pretext (allegedly the possession of chemical weapons by another country), the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. VK Max Zen.
