Iran Iraq War Eight Brutal Years The New York Times This is my contribution to the six pages long list of threads on this site about the iran iraq war. what i'm curious about is this: how would the war have unfolded if the u.s. had never secretly supplied arms to iran through israel?. Without the invasion of iraq, iran might be less inclined to pursue nuclear weapons. saddam's regime would have remained in power throughout the 2000s. what's interesting is how saddam's iraq would have responded to the arab spring in 2011. i see two scenarios.
The Beauty And The Horror Of The Iran Iraq War Bbc News The war lasted almost three years, ending in a stalemate on 18 august 1983 when iran accepted a un brokered ceasefire. iraq's rationale for the invasion was primarily to cripple iran. In 2003 a us led combined force of troops from the us, the uk, australia and poland invaded iraq. the coalition aimed to end saddam hussein and to free the iraqi people. in less than a month it captured the capital baghdad. saddam hussein was captured by the end of the year. If iran managed to breakthrough kuwait and directly engage saudi arabia, we would've had another ridda war. Say, in another timeline, another iran iraq war happens instead of an american war on iraq in the early 2000s. you can choose who gets to invade or declare war "first", be it the iranians or the iraqis in this war to be the "scapegoat".

After what saddam hussein did to them even in an alternate universe they wouldn't have helped the iraqis, it's easier to imagine them joining the attack on iraq during desert storm. Assuming the israelis do not destroy the iraqi nuclear program, and saddam is able to test a nuclear bomb and then further develop nuclear weapons during the iran iraq war, how would that change the timeline?. October 2004 saw turkey declare war on kurdistan in an attempt to prevent kurdistan from funding kurdish separatists in their territory. this move backfired spectacularly, leading kurdistan to control all of the border regions by march 2005. this war is currently in a stalemate. While doing research for another project i came across the story of iran threatening iraq with war in 1974 and 1975 over the iraqi response to renewed fighting between the iraqi kurds and baghdad.
