Iran is a militaristic regime that pours all of its resources into preparing for war with countries like the United States. At the time Iran had a military might comparable to India's today. Iraq had a decent military but a complete retard by the name of Saddam Hussein happened to be commanding it, his irrational R&D projects, and military budgeting, combined with his lavish super expensive lifestyle drove his government into debt pretty rapidly, which is why he had the military invade Kuwait, which is where the United States stepped in and launched Operation Desert shield, and then later Operation desert storm.

Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988.
This was known as the Iran-Iraq War and lasted about 8 years over control of the Persian Gulf, and territorial disputes along the Iran/Iraq border. Prior to Operation Desert Storm in 1991, the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1989) was known as the Gulf 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.)
