Iran-Iraq war is the goofiest war ever: -A military dictatorship against a religious cult-led dictatorship (no morally superior side to support) -Iraq has superior land forces, while Iran has superior air forces while both of them are dogshit at naval combat -Iraq starts the war to capture Arab majority Iranian lands -They don't have the air superiority, starts invading anyway -They are faced with child soldiers -Iraqis are outnumbered -Iraq fails the invasion they started -Iraq wants peace -“Fuck you and peace, we will invade you now” -Iran doesn’t have the clear land superiority, starts invading anyway -They are faced with chemical warfare -Despite the fact that Iran is much larger and have orders of magnitude more people, they are somehow outnumbered by Iraqis -They fail miserably -Both sides bomb each other -Iranians start supporting Kurds (an Iranian ethnic group) to invade Iraq, reflecting how Iraqis were after Arab lands of Iran -Americans support Iraq, a country they would invade twice in the following years -Supporting sides get extremely confusing -Half of Iranian navy is blown up for some reason -Arab monarchies who Iraq would invade and try to invade in the following years support Iraq -Non-monarchy and non-shia Arab brethren Syria is supporting Iran for some reason -No one wins -Both sides claim victory -Absolutely nothing is achieved at the cost of a horrible war.

@@uberfeel saddam thought that if he attacked Iran then the whole Arab world would just rally behind him and join the war, instead the gulf countries (because they are cowards) just threw money at him (like they do with every problem) and didn’t do anything. Saddam’s war was built on the idea of repulsion, to repulse the idea of the Islamic revolution which was born in Iran and stop it from reaching Iraq or further into the Middle East, Iran’s goal was to spread the revolution. Iran at this time was in a time of weakness, saddam knew that if he didn’t strike at this moment then Iran would only get stronger and they might strike him first, so he decided to go all in and take khuzestan (a province in Iran full of Arabs and oil) to try and strangle the Iranian exports and imports to make their economy collapse and have the Iranian then rise up against the leadership because of the poor condition of living, but he didn’t think that the Iranian government would throw everything they could at him (including child soldiers) so the war got into a stalemate.

iraqis goal was to stop revolution from getting into iraq and iraq succeed 😂😂😂😂Tawakalna ala Allah Operations ended everything iraqis wiped off 1 million iranains crushed iranain army Complete elimination of Iranian forces in Iraq (liberating 4,400sq.km) Renewed Iraqi invasion of Iran, resulting in the capture of dozens of towns (occupying 9,600sq.km) Iran's submission to a United Nations resolution regarding a ceasefire with Iraq, ultimately leading to the end of the Iran-Iraq War. The Iranian failure during the Karbala Campaign of the previous year had dented the Iranian military's manpower, supplies, and morale, and as a result increasing numbers of Iranians were turning against the war. This meant that the Iranian military's mobilization attempt for a renewed offensive against Iraq in 1988 had failed. The Iranian military leadership had also decided at a major strategic conference that the Iranian troops had to undertake extensive retraining and rearming in order to defeat Iraq, which could in turn take up to 5 years. As a result, Iran did not make any new attempts to invade Iraq in 1988. Iraqi forces regain control over all Iraqi territory previously held by Iranian forces, and launch a series of offensives into Iran leading to the capture of dozens of towns along the border These speedy Iraqi attacks took the Iranians by surprise and sent them into a state of confusion; they found themselves surrounded by Iraqi troops on all sides and lost all control over their forces. Thus this large-scale operation ended with the liberation of all occupied Iraqi territories. The Iranian troops in the various sectors involved in the operation had received a fatal blow; their various headquarters and formations had virtually ceased to exist. During the 1988 battles, the Iranians put up little resistance to the Iraqi offensives, having been worn out by nearly eight years of war. They lost large amounts of equipment; and 20,000 Iranian troops had been taken prisoner of war throughout the course of the operations. It was the operation that effectively ended the war, and it represented a clear Iraqi victory over the Iranian forces. The Iraqis carried out their missions quickly, efficiently, and with full coordination.[6] In the fall of 1988, the Iraqis displayed in Baghdad captured Iranian weapons amounting to more than three-quarters (75%) of the Iranian armor inventory and almost half of its artillery pieces and armored personnel carriers. On 2 July, Iran belatedly set up a joint central command which unified the Revolutionary Guard, Army, and Kurdish rebels, and dispel the rivalry between the Army and the Revolutionary Guard. However this came too late, and Iran was believed to have fewer than 200 remaining tanks on the southern front, faced against thousands of Iraqi tanks With the Iranian Army in retreat, various elements of the Iranian leadership, led by Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (who had initially pushed for the extension of the war), persuaded Khomeini to sue for peace due to Iran's almost non-existent morale and impending bankruptcy. On 20 July 1988, Iran accepted Resolution 598, showing its willingness to accept a ceasefire,] and on 20 August 1988, peace was officially restored After a series of battles, in which Iraq had emerged as the victor, the leadership in Baghdad stated that they no longer desired to conquer Iranian territory. The success of the Iraqi armed forces had convinced the clerics of Iran that they could not attain their objectives on the field of battle and to accept the ceasefire. iraq actually won now a iraqi runs and owns iran half of iran government are of iraqi origin such as ail Khamenei he was born in iraq najaf his father and mother were born in iraq Khamenei passport the real one was exposed by iranains and now a iraqi will run for president of iran in elections

Do you think if Iraq was still as strong as before the Iran-Iraq war, USA would truly attack it because of KUWAIT, when US didn't do anything about Iraq where it was a Main player in 6 day war?! Don't be stupid, Saddam's Iraq hated Jews more than anything and all of these plays were just political plays to trap and destroy it which happened just perfectly.

iraqis goal was to stop revolution from getting into iraq and iraq succeed 😂😂😂😂Tawakalna ala Allah Operations ended everything iraqis wiped off 1 million iranains crushed iranain army Complete elimination of Iranian forces in Iraq (liberating 4,400sq.km) Renewed Iraqi invasion of Iran, resulting in the capture of dozens of towns (occupying 9,600sq.km) Iran's submission to a United Nations resolution regarding a ceasefire with Iraq, ultimately leading to the end of the Iran-Iraq War. The Iranian failure during the Karbala Campaign of the previous year had dented the Iranian military's manpower, supplies, and morale, and as a result increasing numbers of Iranians were turning against the war. This meant that the Iranian military's mobilization attempt for a renewed offensive against Iraq in 1988 had failed. The Iranian military leadership had also decided at a major strategic conference that the Iranian troops had to undertake extensive retraining and rearming in order to defeat Iraq, which could in turn take up to 5 years. As a result, Iran did not make any new attempts to invade Iraq in 1988. Iraqi forces regain control over all Iraqi territory previously held by Iranian forces, and launch a series of offensives into Iran leading to the capture of dozens of towns along the border These speedy Iraqi attacks took the Iranians by surprise and sent them into a state of confusion; they found themselves surrounded by Iraqi troops on all sides and lost all control over their forces. Thus this large-scale operation ended with the liberation of all occupied Iraqi territories. The Iranian troops in the various sectors involved in the operation had received a fatal blow; their various headquarters and formations had virtually ceased to exist. During the 1988 battles, the Iranians put up little resistance to the Iraqi offensives, having been worn out by nearly eight years of war. They lost large amounts of equipment; and 20,000 Iranian troops had been taken prisoner of war throughout the course of the operations. It was the operation that effectively ended the war, and it represented a clear Iraqi victory over the Iranian forces. The Iraqis carried out their missions quickly, efficiently, and with full coordination.[6] In the fall of 1988, the Iraqis displayed in Baghdad captured Iranian weapons amounting to more than three-quarters (75%) of the Iranian armor inventory and almost half of its artillery pieces and armored personnel carriers. On 2 July, Iran belatedly set up a joint central command which unified the Revolutionary Guard, Army, and Kurdish rebels, and dispel the rivalry between the Army and the Revolutionary Guard. However this came too late, and Iran was believed to have fewer than 200 remaining tanks on the southern front, faced against thousands of Iraqi tanks With the Iranian Army in retreat, various elements of the Iranian leadership, led by Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (who had initially pushed for the extension of the war), persuaded Khomeini to sue for peace due to Iran's almost non-existent morale and impending bankruptcy. On 20 July 1988, Iran accepted Resolution 598, showing its willingness to accept a ceasefire,] and on 20 August 1988, peace was officially restored After a series of battles, in which Iraq had emerged as the victor, the leadership in Baghdad stated that they no longer desired to conquer Iranian territory. The success of the Iraqi armed forces had convinced the clerics of Iran that they could not attain their objectives on the field of battle and to accept the ceasefire. iraq actually won now a iraqi runs and owns iran half of iran government are of iraqi origin such as ail Khamenei he was born in iraq najaf his father and mother were born in iraq Khamenei passport the real one was exposed by iranains and now a iraqi will run for president of iran in elections

[@anthonyrinaldi1331]

Both side claimed victory...which is how you know both side lost...but I suppose considering hindsight Iran lost a bit less. Iraq had a lot more resources and foreign support while Iran was still recovering form its seizure of power by the Ayatollahs, its military and society still in disarray . Iraq' showing was pathetic considering those circumstance and the war only allowed the Ayatollahs to prop up and "legitimize" their regime in the eyes of the people.

So many people in this war died for no reason. This war could have been 4 years, but Khomeini decided they will take Karbala from Iraq, which led it to more deaths and sufferings. I was born in Iran, and living here you will see so many paintings of the lost soldiers all around the city, and so many roads and places named after them. So many of those soldiers were children and younglings, as young as 11 yo. And growing up, they will teach you about them so many times, and encourage you to be a soldier like them and become a martyr (basically brainwashing children). I was a brainwashed kid at some point, thats why I am saying these. One of the young soldiers that died in a terrible way was a 13 yo kid who strapped some grenades and threw himself under an Iraqi tank, killing himself. Khomeini glorified his death, naming the day of his passing as « the student day ». They supposedly used children from poor families as mine bait, brainwashing them, giving them a plastic golden key and then they run to the mine fields. Iran of course, never told us about their crimes, just saying Iraq, USA and Israel were the bad people. They will only tell you that only Iraq caused this 8 year war, not them, sometimes calling it an « inflicted war ». I lived in this country growing up, and see people hurt from this bloody war: families grieving their young children, people disabled, and sometimes chemical victims. I have a family member who was a soldier and he never wants to remember the war. He saw his friend’s head explode in front of him. Some of the people that went to war are also not treated nicely by the government. I should also tell you that the hidden mines are still causing casualties to this day. Some of the remains they find from soldier cannot be identified, so they will give them the name « unknown martyr ». Some of the families never even got the body of their loved ones. In those days, in cities you would see a lot of mourning ceremonies of dead soldiers. There was a movie named Deportees 2. There’s a scene when family of some POW come to an Iraqi camp to see their loved ones. There was this old lady who was the mother of a character in the previous movie, and when she finds out that her son was killed in the frontline, her and her husband started crying painfully, while talking to his dead son. It still hurts me when I think about it. Nothing came out of this war but death, destruction, and sadness. People were sent to frontline, never coming back alive, and their family was left to grieve. This should not have happened in the first place.
