Personally I believe they would have gone down that route anyway. They were in a major war and all options were open to them, and worth exploring. Iraq just happened to get there first, and developed their capability earlier. Iran simply lost the race, like Germany lost the nuclear race, while Japan got ahead in the bacteriological warfare stakes (not that it did them any good)
However, thats a personal view.
And now they are playing catchup in another race and need to be stopped.
