Logical gap edit
Novichok stockpile and that the agent is too complicated for a non-state actor to have weaponized. ... However, this claim can be thrown into serious doubt by the revelation that Iranian scientists have been able to synthesise five Novichok agents in 2016.
This syllogism requires the reader to surmise that the Iranian scientists had no support from (or previous involvement or training with) the Iranian state.
I think that's a jump too far. — MaxEnt 20:49, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

> The publication appeared just on the eve of Russia's signing of the 1990 Chemical Weapons Convention. Later according to Mirzayanov, the Russian Military Chemical Complex (MCC) was using defense conversion money received from the West for development of the chemical warfare facility.[7][1]
Mirzayanov was immediately fired. He was then arrested on October 22, 1992, on charges of treason, brought by the Russian military industrial complex authorities — he was not allowed to know the exact charges, as they were also declared a state secret. <
The convention is dated January 1993.
When was he fired? How would he know anything after he was fired? Nine-and-fifty swans (talk) 10:23, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
