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.
