Iran is issuing nerve-agent antidotes to troops on the Persian Gulf front, preparing them for the possibility of chemical warfare. Photos show gas masks and MSAK III kits containing atropine and oxime injectors, along with powder for decontaminating skin and clothing. These are not ordinary first-aid supplies. They are designed for nerve-agent exposure. The timing and location are alarming. Iran’s southern forces guard oil and gas infrastructure, ports and approaches to the Strait of Hormuz, as the region faces heightened military pressure. Commanders are equipping troops there to fight in a chemical-threat environment. The kits may be old stock, and their distribution does not prove Iran plans to use chemical weapons. But the regime is putting nerve-agent countermeasures into soldiers’ hands now. Whatever the specific threat they anticipate, they are preparing for a battlefield where toxic agents may be present.
