"Peace by attrition" implies that the two sides stopped fighting because they didn't have enough soldiers left to fight any longer. Both sides had taken such heavy casualties that the armies broke down.

Describe a major conflict within the middle east and its impact on Iran?

The Iran-Iraq War was a devastating conflict for Iran and resulted when Iraq invaded Iran in 1980. The War was the longest war in the 20th century, lasting 8 years. It was also a war of attrition with the use of chemical and biological weapons. Iran also famously sent numerous children into minefields as bomb detectors (in the sense that they would find a bomb by walking on it and exploding to death). More than 1,000,000 Iranians died in the conflict and this war became a symbol of the resilience and strength of the Iranian post-Revolutionary Government as well as proof of its horribleness to Western observers.
