Did the Shi'ites fight on the side of Iran in the Iran-Iraq war?

It depends. The Iran-Iraq War was a war of countries not a war of religions. Numerous Shiite Iraqis were part of the Iraqi Army and did their duty for the Iraqi Government. However, the vast majority of Shiites involved in the war fought on the Iranian side since Iran committed more soldiers to the war and Iran has a higher percentage of Shiites in general and in the armed forces.
