The funny thing is, there is one country in the Middle East starting with the letter I that facilitates and benefits from all this violence. Hint: it isn’t Iran, and it isn’t Iraq

It was the biggest seaport on the sea in the gulf (and will be in the future when they complete the Faw port), in the most strategic region in the world (Persian gulf) so it’s not that useless

@@bigchungus6320 Yeah, but still a million people, a whole decade and a whole generation got wasted for a sea port?

@@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. Btw I’m Iraqi from Basra, the city which got most of the fighting during the war and the one that was the primary goal of Iran to capture, so you can ask me anything if you want.

probably they still tolerate Christians, and Iraq has quite a lot of Christians (1.4 millions in 1987 census). They were still treated harshly tho, especially around 1988, which is during the Anfal campaign where 2000 Christians were cleansed, around the end of Iraq-Iran war

Yeah, but it's unfortunately so irrelevant at the grand scheme of things, even for Iran and Iraq. What did both sides learn anyway that could benefit an average high schooler or elementary student and still be relevant for their future careers that don't involve the military? WW1 at least could tell how the war caused the downfall of the old empires, the weakening of colonialism, and the rise of nationalism and communism.

The empires were falling with or without WW1. And the ones that stayed (UK and Turkey) are still fracking around so this war was pointless. ​@@imgvillasrc1608

It also gave birth to the IRGC, which would later reap the benefits of post-war reconstruction and privatization to become Iran's deep state.

It also completely won the people’s support because despite doing the most fucked up unislamic shit ever, they made Iran come out of the war alive despite being outclassed in almost everything. And for the people that was good enough (until the mid 2000s then the lost a shit ton of support)

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

Also Iraq didn't come out very strong, it barely escaped because of direct intervention of USA who wanted to finish the job itself.

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

@@girusii what an absolutely stupid wall of text Iraq's objective of the war was clearly stated and it was to completely change the regime in Iran, which has failed miserably Also even if that's not the case (it most definitely is) then tell me how is Iraq now huh? Who has the most influence in Iraq rn? Isn't it Iran Iraq also tried another offensive in the last days of the war before the ceasefire took place which failed miserably

@@someboi4535agreed, Iraq was the aggressor, Iran had all right towards defense

The winners were the arms dealers, the western countries who had interests in the region, and Israel, who had now weakened two of the Middle East’s strongest powers

Ah yes, because it was the US and western Europe that was responsible for Iraq invading Iran. Or for Iran overthrowing their decent government and replacing it with a corrupt theocracy
