YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In 1980, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein launched an attack on Iran, leading to the Iran-Iraq War. It was an eight-year armed conflict that’s been recognized as one of the “longest and bloodiest” wars of the 20th century. Iran was relatively isolated, but Saddam’s regime was backed by the U.S. and Europe.The brutality of the war, including Saddam Hussein’s widespread use of chemical weapons, left an indelible impact on Iran and its leaders – and can help explain many of the Iranian government’s policies today.
