The Iran-Iraq War was a military conflict between roadway tracking Iran and Iraq between 1980 and 1988. Was the result of political and territorial disputes between the two countries. The United States, whose president was Ronald Reagan, supported Iraq.
In 1980, President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, revoked an agreement of 1975 gave way to Iran about 518 square kilometers of a border area north of the Shatt-al-Arab waterway in exchange for the guarantee that Iran would cease to military assistance to the Kurdish minority in Iraq who fought for independence.

But in the mid-1980s, the international reputation of Iraq was shaken when he was accused of having used chemical weapons roadway tracking against Iranian troops, although it has accused Iran of doing the same (1987-1988).
The war entered a new phase in 1987, when the Iranians increased hostilities against commercial shipping in and around the Persian Gulf, resulting in the increasing presence of American ships and other nations in the region. Senior officers of the Iranian army began to lose credibility as his troops suffered roadway tracking losses of weapons and equipment, while Iraq continued to be fueled by the West.
In early 1988, the UN Security Council demanded a cease-fire. Iraq accepted, but Iran does not.
