8. Iran
Points – 10
Officially, Iran doesn’t have any biological weapons or chemical weapons. Unofficially, there have been plenty of accusations thrown around towards Iran, some claiming that Iran may have already passed the research and development effort. In fact, it is believed the country is hiding weapons that can be delivered via short-range cruise missiles, artillery shells and rockets. When it comes to chemical weapons, Iran has been pretty public about condemning the use of such agents. Recent assessments, however, indicate that the country continues to have the capability to produce chemical warfare agents and has been conducting research in this direction.
As far as nuclear weapons go, Iran isn’t known to have any. It is also party to the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons since the 70s.
And now, let’s see what else we have in our list of countries that have weapons of mass destruction.
