During the 1980s, Iran and Iraq were engaged in a devastating war primarily over territorial disputes and political differences, particularly regarding the Shatt al-Arab waterway. The conflict, known as the Iran-Iraq War, began in 1980 and lasted until 1988, resulting in significant casualties and economic destruction for both nations. The war was fueled by Iraq's desire to assert dominance in the region and to counter the influence of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Ultimately, the conflict ended in a stalemate, with neither side achieving its objectives.
