Iran-Iraq Conflict Explained on Maps

Situated at the crossroads of Central Asia, South Asia, and the Arab states of the Middle East, Iran and Iraq are two neighboring countries, which share almost the same name but possess two different cultures and different histories.

Over the centuries, the relations between the Iranians and Iraqis have deteriorated due to disputes over territory, which culminated in the Iran-Iraq War of 1980.

Fueled by territorial, religious and political disputes between the two nations, the war was one of the world’s largest and longest conventional interstate wars and only ended in an effective stalemate eight years later.

just because they differ in one letter in English, doesn't mean they sound the same. actually they sound very different in their native languages

[extremistterrorist]

Ahh yes Ayrak and Ayran such a beautiful countries

I have studied this war a fair bit. Iran had Air superiority through much of the war and gradually shifted to being self sufficient. However the army was divided between the basji volunteers the revolutionary guards and the regular armed forces each conducting there operations separately which proved to be very costly for them. Iraq having a well equipped army was let down by poor leadership and bad tactical decisions. 8 years so many lives lost a costly stalemate for both sides. Many people till this day are scarred from it. Hopefully a conflict like that never happens again.

iraq/iran war has to be the only time us and ussr were on the same side post ww2.

This channel’s biggest issue is pronunciation. Idk if you’re using AI to speak or what but sometimes it’s soooo bad (aka Seoul as “Sool”). However the content and visuals are super good, so if you fix the pronunciation issue, double check everything a little closer, I think you’ll have one of the best channels on YT.

First of all, say the country properly.

[TheOriginalProfG]

Fun fact.
Embassies are in the capital cities of a country. In this case the Iranian Embassy is in Baghdad (another fun fact - Baghdad is a Persian word). The building you refer to in Basra would've been the consulate.

It amazes me as to the lack of knowledge of people who make these videos. And they breed 😡

[anthonyharraden]

You don’t have the Iran flag written correctly. I’m surprised no Islamic YouTuber has commented yet. It was a big deal in the World Cup that “Praise Allah” or something like that wasn’t written on the flag so they got upset….. 🤷‍♂️ idk

[dion.exarchos]

When did Saudi Arabia use the current UAE flag?

[mgmfqcq]

در زمان های گذشته عراق جز ایران بوده و حتی چند تا از پایتخت های باستانی ایران شهرهای عراق هستن .
عراق هم یعنی ایران کوچک😁

[rezahadi]

Try Arvand Rood it sounds better than shatt Al Arab

[doraemon]

Iraq vs Iran is an example of bad guy vs bad guy. Fascinating…

[setare]

Why sudden interest in iran iraq war ? No one talked about it for ages 🤔 and I saw a bunch of videos made in this week only ! Its fishy !!!

[mooyldz]

Wrong pronunciation of Iran. Wrong flag for Saudi Arabia... 😅 Thumbs down. If you make a video at least get the basics right. And who cares about one letter difference in their names... 😂 Sorry... But... That's not good enough.

[philcollinson]

Highly informative vid. But the nations are called Iran and Iraq...not Eye-ran and Eye-raq.

[TheOriginalProfG]

Eye-Ran, officially IRAN pronouned EERAAN.

It is like people pronouncing America as Ey-me-rie-sa.

Additionally, the names are NOT different by a letter (but Ey-mey-rie-sans would not know this, would they?)

They are totally different pronounciations.

Iraq is pronounced Araagh while Iran is pronounced as EEraan.

The lation spelling is something that moronic Anglo Saxons came up with to cover their inability to pronounce the names properly followed by Ey-mey-rie-sans from across the pond who removed all doubts about their inability at language, pronounciation and knowledge of the peoples and countries

[Xiaolovr_]

My dad actually fought in this war then left for America in 1990

[tryjustbe]

0:12 so yemen, syria, Lebanon are not part of the arab states now? Neither is Iraq? Hmm

[fhfljdo]

[HeenBrgr]

5:15 Corps is pronounced like "Core" not like "Corpse"
