Iranian Perspective
US and England were angry because of Iran's revolution as it was not profitable for them anymore. So they gave Saddam equipments to start that war and Iran defended their country with no equipment but courage. When they were winning they were forced to sign ceasefire.
International Affairs Perspective
The Iran-Iraq War reflected a change in military and strategic alliances in the Persian Gulf Region. The British and the Americans had previously had a strong relationship with the Shah of Iran and buttressed his government against Arab powers such as Iraq. With the Islamic Revolution, Iran vehemently opposed American and British interests and as a result, the Americans and British buttressed Iraq instead. The blessing these powers gave to Saddam Hussein of Iraq to attempt to conquer Iran (or at least the oil-rich Arab Iranian province of Khuzestan) set the war into motion. The resulting war permanently (until Saddam Hussein's overthrow) set Iran and Iraq against each other, lessening Iranian influence in the Middle East. In addition, as the two countries were about evenly matched (even with all of the foreign investment) their stalemate effectively quelled fears of Iranian culture and Shiite Islamism from penetrating the Arab World and Ba'athism from penetrating Iran. Since 2003, and the fall of Iraq, Islamism and Iranian influence have begun to strongly shape Arab discourse.
