>dispute between iraq and iran since the 70's over shaat al arab waterway
>according to treaty between british mandate of iraq and persia, the waterway belongs to iraq and iran must pay a toll
>iran starts violating it in the 70s and using it anyway, while arming kurdish terrorists in the north
>saddam makes deal with shah's iran, he'll agree to split the shaat down the middle, if iran agrees to stop supporting terrorists
>they both agree, things go good for 4 years
>iran has revolution, diehard religious fanatic Khomeini comes to power, pisses off every country except his british and israeli backers
>starts promising he will overthrow saddam and replace secular baathist rule with hardcore religious theocracy in iraq like in iran
>supports terrorists which blow up university in baghdad
>increasing border skirmishes
>saddam decides to attack iran to take back the waterway, thinking the west will support him
>in reality west supports both sides against each other, using israel to send weapons to iran
>iraq push in all the way to dezful
>iran starts launching human wave attacks of children since they are religiously fanatic and dont care about casualties
>after 2 iraq decides the rising death toll isn't worth it, and withdraws back to the borders, offering a ceasefire
>iran refuses, saying they want to conquer karbala etc etc
>iran invades iraq for the next 6 years, refusing all ceasefires
>iran only captures a small amount of areas and iraq uses chemical weapons to stop them from capturing basra
>after 6 years, iraq pushes iran out from all iraqi territory in just a few days, which had taken iran 6 years to capture
>iran's leaders beg khomeini to accept ceasefire since they have no hope and have essentially lost
>khomeini says he will accept ceasefire like "drinking from poison"
>iraqis celebrate the ceasefire in baghdad, while iranians in tehran mourn it seeing it as a defeat
>1 year later khomeini dies cause he's so butthurt over losing

The end.

Daily reminder that Iraq literally electrified a swamp to stop an Iranian offensive.

Iraq saved the world from the Persian menace then proceeds to get fucked sideways.

>>2444070
You forgot to call Iranians the Judeo-Safavid Empire.

Why do we have this meme about iraqis being "retarded cowards" when they were able to fight for 8 years and wistand 400000 deads?

Iraq has all the political and monetary support it could ever want from the world, yet it still failed miserably and spent 3/4 of the war fighting on its own territory.

Yet more proof that Arabs are shit at modern warfare.

Even if we would bealive all Iraqi claims, "K/D" is still 6:1. Even this isnt enough for meme wave attacks.

>Israel
>North Korea

what now

>>2444070
loss of tanks and other mobile units turns the war into a grinding fuckfest with no real gain on either side.

In Iran's case resupply was a major problem, seeing as they were under embargo from the West and the Soviets after 1982 really didn't want to sell weapons to them.

Iraq loses to a bunch of persian boys (girl)

>>2445357
I don't know about North Korea, but allegedly the Israelis shared some intel with the Iranians. Plus I suppose you could count the Osirak bombing as support.

>>2445242
dumbfuck, iran was receiving US help secretly too

>>2444070
total shitshow

>>2447907
Bullshit, if the US was trading arms for hostages to Iran during the 80s we would have heard about it

>>2444124

I unironically miss Saddam.
