Two flaws in this documentary: 1.

It had a mission to demonstrate that the main motivation of fighting Sadam invading troops for Iranians was religious, leaving patriotism out totally.

Look at Iranian volunteers slogan they put around their head is enough to know that Khomeini sent those kids under this belief.

@@omarhafud Those "kids" weren't nearly the majority of fighters, you donkey. The religious forces such as the Basij were one of many units sent to fight the barbaric Arab invaders. The majority of Iranian success came from the standard military (Artesh) which had nothing to do with religion.

Am wondering the name of the manufacturer of the Iranian missiles. Exocets are fairly common and easy to obtain from third parties.

[@impychimpyable]

In the war they produced all their own missiles. The west had an embargo on them. Despite being able to obtain weapons in secretive ways from countries around the globe, this was no enough to meet their needs...so they decided to start producing whatever the west denied them through sanctions. They broke apart the equipment that they had from the time of the shah and reverse engineered it. One of these things was their ballistic missiles and their anti-ship missile systems.

[@shocbomb23]

Its long range missiles especially the Scud-B Iran purchased them from Libya

[@GenXerReacts]

Iran's foreign supporters gradually came to include Syria and Libya, through which it obtained Scud missiles. It purchased large quantities of weaponry from North Korea and the People's Republic of China, notably the Silkworm anti-ship missile. It also acquired arms from Portugal, notably after 1984. It also acquired propellants and other weapons related components from Spain and Portugal.

Then what about Iran- Contra Scandle when USA sent weapons to Iran in 1986, read about it and dont say stupid words. Iraqi army is russain armed not american like Iran. Read correct resources about who got severe damage. Khumaini said in his acceptance UN 598 to stop the war, " it is like drinking a cup of poison". Iran had around million people killed in the war because they used madly human waves to attack Iraqi front lines and that caused them million of peple killed and the economy and oil infrastructure had damaged as well. Read any resources online but not listening to your liar media

Human life is certainly interesting. Both sides fighting a war and killing each and praying to the same god for victory. Both talk to the same god for victory, to defeat the enemy who also happens prays to the same god for the same thing. They get victory or death, which are good outcomes as the foreign minister guy said. The other side also gets the same outcome since it's one of two options.
