Why Did the Iran-Iraq War Happen?
The 22nd September 1980 marked the start of the Iran-Iraq War, a bloody 8 year conflict that claimed the lives of close to half a million people. The war would shape the geopolitics of the middle east, with the echoes of the conflict still felt to this day. In this video we look at the reasons this horrifying 8 year war between Iran and Iraq…

Or was it divide and rule formula by the West to later capture their resources? 😅

Barrack Obama tells CNN Ayatollah raped one of Iraqs goats that mistakenly crossed irans border so to teach Iraq a lesson Ayatollah raped a iraqie goat and that started the war, the goats name was Michael
Possibly because they couldn't find any Jews to persecute?
This is islam for the world. Even if the planet is entirely islamic they will attack each other and fight amongst themselves until the day of Qyamat.

Iran stopped supplying oil to Israel, and Iran kicked out the British and gulf arabs and their allies out of their country
Saddam zaleel Zalim wasil e Jahannam huwa
not good example…islam fight islam
It’s not _shat Al Arab _ it’s alvand rud
Very simple, Saddam put to power by US money, Saddam fought Iran because that's what the US wanted, in turn the territory of Kuwait would be returned to Iraq, it wasn't, Saddam began nationalizing Iraq's oil and selling oil contracts, Saddam had to go and the country occupied by US
Its always the outside influence that propels middle east conflict,
First US visit Iran and then Iraq and then just magically managed to topple down Iraq overnight.
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT
The military industrial complex armed both sides to keep them weak so as not to affect American interests in the region.
Because Benjamin said so.
Iraq? Trying to emulate Israel's victory in the 6-Day War???? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 haha what a big dream from an uneducated, low-IQ guy like Sad Hussein🤣🤣🤣
Very one-sided: Saddam's propaganda. Iraq started all sorts of destructions and preps in Khuzestan. The Iranian revolution gave him an opportunity (as he conveyed to his inner circle) and he seized it. Iran was caught by surprise showing how baseless this propaganda is.
hype
Many Kurds were Sunni too, unless you meant Arab Sunnis vs the Shi'a majority.
it's seems Israelis trying to rewrite the history and to depict Iran as root for all evil
Khomeini didn't opposed international order he opposed colonial powers and he didn't advocate for militant Islamism which is terrorism
The things you said are what Sunni Muslim do, specifically Sunni Wahabi
Iranians are Shia, and Shia do not engage in suicide bombings or terrorism. They believe that individuals who commit suicide bombings will suffer eternal damnation. Another major difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims pertains to offensive jihad. Shia doctrine holds that only the 12th Imam has the authority to declare an offensive jihad. Currently, the 12th Imam is believed to be with God and will return with Jesus. Until then, Shia only sanction defensive jihad. Anyone who engages in offensive jihad in the absence of the Mahdi is considered a terrorist.
This distinction is why you don't see Shia jihadist groups like ISIS, al-Qaida, or Boko Haram, which are predominantly Sunni and emerged after the invasion of their respective countries. If you have any doubts about this information, you can refer to findings from a US counterterrorism investigation, which confirmed that Shia forces have never attacked civilian targets. In contrast, Sunni groups deliberately target civilians to instill fear.
t makes you wonder if Westerners are genuinely concerned about Islamic extremism. Why are they picking a fight with Shia Muslims while allying with the most extreme Sunnis, like the Wahabi and Salafi sects (the state religion of Saudi Arabia)? These groups are so extreme that they don't even consider Shia to be Muslims and frequently carry out suicide bombings in Shia mosques.
The US, in its ignorance, even ordered an investigation to understand why Shia Muslims do not retaliate by bombing Sunni mosques or engaging in suicide attacks. Despite realizing that Shiites are actively fighting terrorism, they remained enemies with Iran primarily because of their alliance with Israel. This stance effectively puts the West on the side of terrorists, especially in Syria. Wikileaks exposed emails between Jake Sullivan and Hillary Clinton, revealing that in Syria, al-Qaida and ISIS were considered allies of the USA against Iran, Russia, and Assad.
Iran is often portrayed as an anti-Jewish nation, yet it hosts the largest Jewish community in the region outside of Israel, with 600 active synagogues and a permanent seat in the Iranian Parliament. One could argue that Jews and Christians in Iran enjoy more freedoms than the average Iranian, such as the ability to produce and consume alcoholic beverages, which is prohibited for most Iranians. The presence of the Jewish community in Iran challenges Israel's narrative, reinforcing Iran's stance as anti-Zionist rather than anti-Jewish. This is exemplified by Israel's offer of $60,000 to any Jewish Iranian willing to leave Iran as a political refugee to either Israel or the US, an offer that was rejected by Iranian Jews who stated their Iranian identity wasn't for sale.
Jewish Persians in Israel face harsh treatment and are frequently arrested as spies for Iran, especially if they post content on social media that shows sympathy towards Palestinians or Iranians. It seems the phrase "every accusation is a confession" holds true for Israel's allegations against others
He said president of Iran Sadam hussein???
Iran was sending terrorist's Shia missionaries to Iraq to topple the Iraqi regime for a while before Iraq attack.
Why Iran 🇮🇷 Iraq 🇮🇶 war Happened because USA wanted it
Because of usa
some good facts but the idea that in the 60s and 70s america 'bankrolled' iran is a bit ludicrous. Iran had massive oil wealth like saudi arabia.
