    AbstractExposure to chemical warfare agents results in long-term biopsychosocial complaints. A recent study has revealed an association between exposure to a low dose of Sarin and Gulf War illness in American veterans from the Gulf War. The prevalence of Gulf War illness has not been studied in the Iraqi population. In light of recent research results, Iraqi chemical warfare agent survivors' multiple physical and mental illnesses should be highlighted. For this reason, establishing both legislation and medical commissions is most needed.© The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2023.
