[coffee]

as an iraqi i see this as one of the most useless/brutal and stupid wars ever happend
millions of people died for nothing because of the stupid dictators

[hossien.legend]

I am an Iranian, my father was in the war, he says that in the beginning of the war, we defended ourselves with stones and sticks, until later they gave us weapons, while they hit us with tanks and chemical weapons. My father is still suffering from war injuries at the age of 60

[kazioglod]

one of the biggest completely forgotten conflict after WW2.

[قيصرحيدر-صس]

As an Iraqi, I believe that it is the most insane, stupid, and brutal war ever. It was a real hell. This war destroyed our souls. This tragedy cannot be described. It was slow and brutal, and the numbers of victims are much more than this. We were fighting, but we did not know why. We were young men at the age of 18. Saddam sent us to this massive holocaust. We lost the best days of our youth. Until now, I do not know what we were fighting for. All the reasons seem stupid and ridiculous and not worth all that blood on both sides. Damn me. Saddam was stupid and arrogant. He thought himself a great leader. In the end, he told us that we had won!!!! For what and for what I do not know. We did not emerge from this war except with nightmares and constant sadness.

[eliteplier]

This war lasted for 8 years had over 2 million casualties and nobody talks about this?!

[rezasatan]

Iran's only allies were Syria and North Korea. Europe, the Soviet Union supported Saddam. Gorbachev used to say that we will not let Saddam fail. And later, the United States destroyed half of Iran's naval fleet in Operation Mantis in the war of tankers in favor of Saddam.

[Doxxieeee]

Cool fact: this war played out so slow that it was called the "ww1 of the middle east"

[future_beat]

The fact that Iran managed to defend its territory even though both superpowers of the time (the US and Soviet Union) were on the side of Iraq is remarkable.

[Strategic_Brilliance]

Iranian people where really strong during the war, they litterally went to war after a revolution without armament and good equipment

[mobinmousavi]

In this war, the United States, the Soviet Union, and European countries supported Iraq, and yet Iran did not lose its land in the end

[دراسة-طي]

As an Iraqi i want to say it's one of the most useless wars that had ever happened

[OfficialUKGov]

7:44 On this second, Iraq would launch a chrmical attack against the civilians of a village _it controlled_ as a part of the Anfal "Campaign", a genocide killing 200, 000 Kurds. It was called the Halabja massacre; witness recounts and images of the attack are horrifying.

[mahdi]

My grandfather (Iranian side) was martyred in this war, may his soul rest in peace and all the martyrs who defended my country 🇮🇷❤️

[MarcusBlueWolf]

Amazing Iran managed to hold against Iraq being gifted tons of equipment from most major powers.

[PaceWind]

Most brutal war in middle east with no border changes
(Edited from least to no)

[alirafsanjani]

RIP to all our Shahids (Martyrs) and hope for the better life for our victims of war and veterans-from Iran ❤

[AdamMounam]

Fun Fact: Iran's only major allies during the war were Gaddafi's Libya, and Assad's Syria. While Iraq enjoyed tactical support from both the US and the USSR, in addition to large scale financing from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Arab states on the Persian Gulf.

[AkuToR]

I've been waiting so long for someone to make a video about the Iran-Iraq war, I like it!

[MehrshadRad-jpis]

This was not Iran's war with Iraq, it was Iran's war with the whole world, everyone was with Saddam, and they used many inhumane chemical bombs, but the Iranian people resisted with will.

[goat.mb]

The war ended with the intervention of the United Nations and Iraq declared peace, but a few minutes later, when the people were celebrating, Iraqi planes attacked Iran.
