Iran has developed chemical weapons based on synthetic opioids, a US expert warned in an article written for the Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point. These powerful agents could incapacitate soldiers or civilians when added to grenades or artillery, wrote Matthew Levitt.Pharmaceutical-based agents, or PBA, are reportedly weaponised medicines that incapacitate or kill their victims. These weapons are based on substances such as fentanyl, the synthetic opioid which has ravaged the US leading to thousands of deaths.These weapons are aimed at rendering targets unconscious as they affect a victim's central nervous system. "Once inhaled, these agents cause victims to lose full consciousness, ” Levitt wrote.
