>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.

Just watch this user, its pretty much a quick rundown

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

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?

>human wave memes
dude pls, there is literally no reason to use it if you have weapons.

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.
