Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East
Weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East have been a constantly growing problem. As more countries are achieving weapons of mass destruction, those countries become a threat to not only other countries that have already attained weapons of mass destruction, but even more of a threat to those who haven't. In the Middle East countries have been fighting to achieve weapons of mass destruction for a long time, such as Iraq and Iran. Iraq launched their nuclear weapons program in the 1970's under the control of Saddam Hussein. Iraq has later been invaded, and claims they disposed of all of their weapons, which brought up many suspicions and their weapons are now believed to be in Syria.

Treaties should also be made between the Middle Eastern countries as a result leaving an agreement to not use their new weapons of mass destruction.
