    -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.
      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.

      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

    CURIOUS FACT: Brazil (during military dictatorship) also gave support to Iraq by selling some light tanks and armored cars in exchange for their knowledge in nuclear energy (and possibly nukes), which prompted other western nations to place an embargo that worsened our economic crisis, all while the U.S sold missiles to Iran (already an official enemy of the West) in order to fund the Contras in Nicaragua.
    That wasn't the last time the U.S screwed our businesses in a hypocrite move, there was also the dispute between a brazilian MBT who was about to be sold to the Saudis, but the U.S convinced them to switch to the Abrahms.

    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. They are still around...while Iraq picked a fight and got destroyed by the US.

      It is not hard to determine the winner of a war
      Look at the strategic goals behind the war and if they were achieved or not and at what cost
      Iraq started the war wanting to change the whole regime in Iran. Iraq failed miserably at that
      Now you may argue that Iran also made its goals to change the Iraqi regime after the war started which also failed but whether this counts is debatable or not
      Overall I would say it's an Iranian victory

      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

      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

    2:54 - The frontline stalls so they end up using tanks as artillery and have trenches. Wait….I’ve seen this before recently… 🤔😅
