WI Chemical weapons are not banned and have widespread use in the post 1945 period

In the Iran-Iraq War the Iraqis used chemicals on the Iranians, and especially their irregular troops, and caused some pretty nasty casualties. In spite of that it did not work out well for them.

I am not sure what you mean by not working out for them. Maybe what you mean is that the Iranians did not use CW well, however, I would say that the Iraqis used it very effectively.
