Logical gap

Novichok stockpile and that the agent is too complicated for a non-state actor to have weaponized. ... However, this claim can be thrown into serious doubt by the revelation that Iranian scientists have been able to synthesise five Novichok agents in 2016.

Mirzayanov was immediately fired. He was then arrested on October 22, 1992, on charges of treason, brought by the Russian military industrial complex authorities — he was not allowed to know the exact charges, as they were also declared a state secret. <

The convention is dated January 1993.
