Iraq
NO. Ayatollah Khomeini ruled IRAN in the 1980s and was a determined ENEMY of the United States.
Saddam Hussein was the President of Iraq who invaded Iran during the Iran-Iraq War.
Afghans did not participate in the Iran-Iraq War. During this period, Afghanistan was fighting the Soviet Union and trying to repel them from the country. However, Afghans were alive during the Iran-Iraq War. (So, technically speaking, there were Afghans during the Iran-Iraq War, just not in that war.)
Iraq. It was called the Iran-Iraq War and lasted from 1980 to 1988.
Chemical weapons were used in Iraq in the 1970s and 1980s to attack Kurds living in the North of the country as part of an intentional genocide against the Kurdish people. In addition, these weapons were also used by Iraq against the Iranians during the Iran-Iraq War.
I think you must be referring to the war between Iran and Iraq, which was between 1980-88. However, while Iraq is an Arab country, Iran is a Persian country. They are both Islamic nations though. Both are majority Shi'ite Muslim.
Two countries, Iran and Iraq, fought the Iran-Iraq war during those years.
The US supported Iraq during their war with Iran (1980-1988).
Wrong country. IRAQ invaded Kuwait. Not Iran.
The United States supported its fight against Iran. They were trade partners. The United States sold Iraq a huge arsenal of weapons. The United States supported its fight against Iran.
