 On the very same day, the US revealed plans institute special licensing requirements for exports to Iraq and Iran of certain chemicals that could be used in the manufacture of chemical weapons, and that it wanted other governments to follow suit.

Ever since this incident, reports of the use of chemical warfare by the Iraqis have dwindled but have not been completely halted.
