No. Although Iraq began a war with Iran while the Hostage Crisis was ongoing, it was seen by the US government as a war between two brutal dictatorships; both of them unfriendly to the United States, and a war in which the United States wanted neither side to win. Sadaam Hussein in Iraq was never seen as a US ally, any more than the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran was seen as a US ally.

What year did the war in Iraq end?
The Iraq War was not a winnable war for any party because there were no "objectives" that either side was trying to meet. Saddam Hussein was trying to stay in power and failed. The United States tried to build a nation with moderate success, but eventually left the Iraqis to finish the project. The Iraqi Militias were trying to forge a new place in the government by military means and failed in that regard (although many now wield political power on account of Iraqi voting styles). Therefore, it cannot be said that there is a finite day when the Iraq War was won.
