Iran Turns to Chemical Weapons in War Against Israel
November 11, 2024 JBN News – Iran has developed a powerful chemical weapon based on synthetic opioids that can render entire units of soldiers helpless within minutes.
The US and its allies have warned for years that Iran is developing pharmaceutical-based weapons in breach of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention. A recent U.S. State Department report revealed that Iran’s Chemistry Department at Imam Hossein University attempted to acquire large quantities of medetomidine, a veterinary sedative, from Chinese suppliers in 2014. The quantity sought – enough for over 10,000 doses – far exceeded any legitimate research needs.
Further confirmation came in September 2023 when Iranian anti-government hackers leaked documents exposing details of an Iranian military university’s development of medetomidine-based grenades, according to the State Department.
Security experts warn that these pharmaceutical-based agents (PBAs) represent a new category of threat, distinct from traditional chemical weapons. When deployed, PBAs target the central nervous system, rapidly rendering victims unconscious.
Of particular concern is the potential distribution of these weapons to Iran’s terror proxies. Although Israel’s military campaigns in Lebanon have dealt serious blows to Hezbollah and its massive missile stockpile, PBAs remain a viable threat as they can be easily incorporated into hand grenades and mortar shells – weapons Hezbollah still possesses in large quantities.
“Maybe you just use them to incapacitate the border guards and reach the now unprotected civilians,” Matthew Levitt, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, tells Business Insider. “Or, you actually target and incapacitate the soldiers so you can kidnap or capture them.”
“At a time of growing regional instability in the Middle East, largely the result of the militancy of Iranian proxies, the threats posed by Iran’s weaponized PBA program can no longer be overlooked,” says Levitt.
Levying sanctions on Iran’s import of PBAs is also extremely difficult because they overlap with products used for legitimate medical purposes.
The Islamic Republic should know better than anyone the horrific toll of chemical weapons, having suffered over a million casualties from Iraqi nerve gas and mustard gas attacks during the Iran-Iraq war. Yet Tehran has shown no hesitation in deploying these weapons themselves – first using mustard gas against Iraqi forces in 1987, then employing PBAs against Syrian rebels during their civil war, and most recently through their Iraqi militias who reportedly used chemical agents to suppress civilian protesters in 2019.
TRUE HERO: Israeli-Druze Saved Numerous Jewish-Israelis During Amsterdam Pogrom
Nov. 9, 2024 – The Yeshiva World – An Israeli-Druze Maccabi soccer fan saved many Jewish Israelis from being attacked by Arabs during the pogrom on the streets of Amsterdam on Thursday evening.
Melhem Asad, from a Druze village in the Upper Galil, flew to Amsterdam to watch the game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and AFC Ajax. When the violence began on the streets following the game, he acted heroically and spent hours on the streets trying to save his fellow Israelis.
Speaking to Israeli media channels, Asad explained how although the police escorted the Israeli fans on the way to the game due to anti-Israel protests, they simply disappeared after the game.
“Before the game, we were at Dam Square and there was good security,” he said. “But after the game ended, we left the stadium to return to the hotel and there was no security – nothing. We felt completely exposed.”
“I heard people across the street speaking Arabic and scheming on how and where to attack the Israeli fans,” Asad continued. “They were saying, ‘Anyone wearing a Maccabi shirt and Israeli symbols is getting beaten to a pulp.’ I tried to confuse them in my language, to say that the Jews had left. I yelled in Arabic so they would think we were Arabs. I did everything to confuse them. I convinced them to go in the other direction.”
“I then ran to warn Israelis to hide their Maccabi Tel Aviv shirts and not to speak Hebrew. I went to restaurants in the area and did it again three or four times. There were people on the ground who were getting beat up around me and I couldn’t help them. I was afraid. I ran between restaurants, alleys, wherever I thought Israelis were.”
Asad elaborated that he was afraid because he felt the intensity of the Arabs’ hatred and how many of them there were.
“I was afraid they would recognize me and kill me. The head of the council and my parents called me, worried about me, but I didn’t want to answer the phone so they wouldn’t hear me and see that I’m an Arab-Israeli and beat me.”
He added that the violence reminded him of October 7 and the burning hatred the Hamas terrorists had for Israelis.
“My heart was burning. Unfortunately, I couldn’t save everyone but I tried to warn as many Israelis as possible. I feel that G-d sent me at the right moment and to the right place to save those I could.”
