The US-Iran history they don’t teach you:
As Saddam Hussein was savagely bombing Iran with chemical weapons, the CIA was assisting him with targeting intelligence, as US vassal states in Europe were building and supplying Iraq’s chemical weapons program.
Declassified CIA documents show the CIA estimated more than 50,000 casualties as a result of Iraqi chemical weapons use.
Iran in 2003 reported that at least 100,000 Iranian casualties as a result of Iraqi chemical weapons attacks.
US-IRAN WAR: HEATED DEBATE
Afshin Rattansi: ‘The US supported Saddam Hussein. They gave them chemical weapons to target Iran. So obviously, Iran may look to the sponsor of Saddam Hussein, which was the US. That’s the history.’
Ex-Deputy CENTCOM Commander Robert Harward: ‘I’ll challenge some of that history, especially the chemical, biological. But again, you’re talking three, four decades ago.’
Afshin: ‘We have declassified CIA documents. We have Donald Rumsfeld photographed with Saddam Hussein…’

Anyone with an IQ above room temperature, paying even passing attention, would have known this.

The American people are not our government. We hate our government and what it does. Specifically, the intelligence agencies and military-industrial complex, which operate outside the bounds of decency and control.
Well it was the DIA giving the targeting intelligence to Saddam at that time, minor correction. And the West Germans built the chemical weapons factories for Saddam, but the finance came from US ‘agricultural loans’.

The USA also saved him in 1987, when he was correctly seen as the only person spreading Western values in Iraq.

The same values that ran the slave trade, starved the Irish and reduced British workers to overworked poverty. Not the stuff they now pretend.
Then after the Soviet collapse, they thought they could Westernise by their own superior cleverness, without needing people like Saddam who had some idea of looking after his own people. Gave them health care and job security.
The USA thought it could make wonderful saving, and also why bother with Afghanistan once the Soviet troops were gone.
It has all come apart. People much less smart than they thought themselves.
Don't get any on you.
BBC 2014
"The newspaper tracked down 17 US soldiers and seven Iraqi police officers wounded during at least six separate incidents. * filled with chemical agents produced in Iraq from ingredients purchased in the US.
