You know what Superbelt had a point there with the bluffing - saying you have those weapons does make enemies nearby think twice about starting a war or insurrection, whether you have em or not.
Though for sure he had em before the war, we don't know when exactly before the war - could've been as long ago as Operation Desert Storm, a bit after that, or even before it.
As to now? Wouldn't surprise me if they did or didn't honestly.
However that point on bluffing to deter fundamentalist insurrections or invaders is a big point - in fact, thats a good reason why we in teh first place even allowed them / supported them in the 80's - a (relatively) westernized nation in the heart of the Middle East that could deter fundamentalists and communists.
