southwest Iran is arab (shia), east iraq is arab (shia). Iran had a shia revolution in 1979, Iraq was worried it would spread to Iraq. all of the oil is in the Shia region. Iraq invaded Iran to get their oil so they couldn't use it and would collapse. he failed but the war exhausted them both. he then invaded Kuwait to take their oil but failed. he then bombed Israel and got invaded and replaced with Shia democracy.

it wasn't pointless, if Iraq had won it would be the one of the most powerful Arab countries, even the world. he would have Iran's oil, Kuwait's oil and would have most likely taken Saudi Arabia and Mecca afterwards. he would have been like Arab Stalin. he just failed, that's all.

in Iran the war had the effect of cementing the new Shia rule. they proved they were serious. maybe they weren't that serious in 1979 and just wanted the Shah gone, but after Iraq invaded, they had no chance but to be serious. now they are still in power. that's because of the war and they still keep having wars, they can't stop.

Saddam Hussein wanted to be an emperor. We (the USA) armed and funded him to fuck with Iran as payback for overthrowing our puppet the Shah. Also, Israel likes it when its rivals in the region fight each other.

Iran Contra proved to Sadam that there was a Jewish conspiracy a foot.

It didn't involve feet unfortunately

It involved the moving of weapons to Israel from Iran so they could go to south America.

But this was a bit dubious to old Sadam. Iran and Israel working together to get him?

America has betrayed my friendship

And so on

USA fought Iran - using Iraq - for 8 years. then lost, so after a couple years we had to go in and sort out Iraq.
