YouTube Description
as posted by the channelConflicted - Season Three | Episode Seventeen
Two men, two revolutions — and one of the bloodiest wars of the 20th century. This episode plunges into the Iran–Iraq War: a brutal eight‑year conflict forged from revolution, paranoia, nationalism, sectarianism, and two colossal egos. From Saddam’s traumatic rise and Khomeini’s apocalyptic vision to child soldiers, chemical warfare, and the labyrinth of Iran‑Contra, this is the definitive story of how the Middle East was reshaped by a single catastrophic war.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
• Saddam and Khomeini: a secular Arab strongman vs. a theocratic revolutionary.
• The 1980 invasion, driven by Saddam’s fear of Iranian revolutionary spillover.
• The war in four phases: Iraqi advance, Iranian counter‑offensive, grinding attrition, and Iraq’s final push.
• Chemical weapons, trench warfare, missile strikes on cities, and mass mobilization: the deadliest modern war between two states.
