Historical Context and Lessons from Iran-Iraq War
First report 6h agoLast update 3h agoThe high number of Iranian casualties in the Iran-Iraq War is highlighted as evidence of their resolve, suggesting that the US underestimates their will.
The 8-year Iran-Iraq War, which ended in a stalemate with one million deaths, is cited as a historical lesson on the difficulty of military conflicts in the region.
The war's outcome influenced Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States to invest heavily in military gear, though some argue they learned the wrong lessons by neglecting foundational military aspects.
Some suggest the Iraqis were supported and possibly instigated by the USA during the Iran-Iraq War.
