◆ イランに対するイラクの化学攻撃
(Wikipedia)
イランに対するイラクの化学攻撃（イランにたいするイラクのかがくこうげき）は、イラン・イラク戦争でイラク軍がイランの戦闘員と非戦闘員に対して行った一連の化学攻撃を指す。
1925年のジュネーヴ議定書により化学攻撃は禁じられているものの、実際には、イランを勝利させないために、アメリカ合衆国がイラク軍の化学攻撃を支援していた。
◆ Chemical attacks on Iran: When the US looked the other way

In one of the “first extensive chemical attacks” by Iraq in March 1984,
“tonnes of sulfur mustard and nerve gas agents” were used against Iranian
troops in Majnoon Islands along the southern border with Iraq. The report also
recorded at least 30 chemical attacks against civilians.
Documents from the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) also showed that the
US government knew about Iraq’s repeated use of nerve agents in Iran, but did
nothing to stop it. Iraq was then allied with the US against Iran.
A declassified “top secret” CIA document dated March 23, 1984, showed that
the US was aware of Iraq’s use of nerve gas agents against Iranian troops in
Basrah, and the plan “to employ it in militarily significant quantities” by
late fall of that year.
Another document dated January 28, 1986, showed it was aware of a report that
a West German firm helped Iraq establish a factory that produced the lethal
chemical agent, Tabun.
It was notable not only that “there was no outrage” from the US and its
allies when the chemical attacks took place in Iran, but the US also “used
its influence” in the UN Security Council to block any condemnation of Iraq,
despite evidence presented by inspectors, Azodi said.
According to Foreign Policy, the US also “conveyed” to Iraq information from
satellite images, which showed Iran “was about to gain a major strategic
advantage” against Iraq in 1988. The US did so “fully aware” that Saddam
“would attack with chemical weapons, including sarin”.
In March 1988, Iraq also used chemical weapons in Halabja, home to Iraqi
Kurds, who had joined with Iran in fighting Saddam. According to reports,
5,000 mainly women and children were killed of mustard gas and sarin
poisoning, and up to 12,000 have died since because of chemical exposure.
