The information underlying this question, namely that the Iran-Iraq War was only 6 weeks long, is incorrect. It was eight years long and the longest conflict in the twentieth century. It was so long because each side dug in its heels and refused to compromise or surrender.

However, Operation Desert Storm, the liberation of Kuwait from Iraq in 1991 and part of the completely separate Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 did only take 6 weeks. This was because the Coalition forces were substantially stronger than the Iraqi Army.
