In 1984 in the middle of the Iran / Iraq war, Iran did buy precursors for making mustard gas.
Whether they used them or not I can't say - the European export ban kicked in three days after the discovery, blocking the purchases.
I'm not going to say where from, or who from, but it did happen. Certainly they had the intent, but the attempt was blocked. On that occasion, the control systems worked - because people were on the ball and knew what to look for.
