A report on Iran and Iran–Iraq War

During his 40-year tenure, Rafsanjani amassed a large amount of power serving as the speaker of parliament, Commander-in-Chief during the Iran–Iraq War, President, and chose Ali Khamenei as the supreme leader of Iran.

In his latter years, Rafsanjani had disagreements with Ali Khamenei who has the last say in everything in Iran.

In the 1980s, Saudi Arabia spent $25 billion in support of Saddam Hussein in the Iran–Iraq War; however, Saudi Arabia condemned the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and asked the US to intervene.

The consequences of the 2003 invasion and the Arab Spring led to increasing alarm within the Saudi monarchy over the rise of Iran's influence in the region.

Even afterwards, backtracking and disagreements continued, until British Foreign Secretary, Lord Palmerston, was moved to comment in 1851 that "the boundary line between Turkey and Persia can never be finally settled except by an arbitrary decision on the part of Great Britain and Russia".

At the end of the Iran–Iraq War, both sides agreed to once again treat the Algiers Accord as binding.

In 1980, the region was invaded by Ba'athist Iraq, leading to the Iran–Iraq War.

However, following the fall of the Abbasid dynasty, the flow of Arab immigrants into Persia gradually diminished, but it nonetheless continued.

On the north coast lies Iran, and on the south coast the United Arab Emirates and Musandam, an exclave of Oman.

The Tanker War phase of the Iran–Iraq War started when Iraq attacked the oil terminal and oil tankers at Iran's Kharg Island in early 1984.

Khorramshahr (, also romanized as Khurramshahr, المحمرة, romanized as Al-Muhammerah) is a city and capital of Khorramshahr County, Khuzestan Province, Iran.

The city was destroyed in the Iran–Iraq War, with the 1986 census recording a population of zero.

Kurds (کورد ,Kurd) or Kurdish people are an Iranian ethnic group native to the mountainous region of Kurdistan in Western Asia, which spans southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, and northern Syria.

During Iran–Iraq War, Tehran has provided support for Iraqi-based Kurdish groups like KDP or PUK, along with asylum for 1.4 million Iraqi refugees, mostly Kurds.

Tabriz (تبریز) is a city in northwestern Iran, serving as the capital of East Azerbaijan Province.

In the 1980s, due to the Iran–Iraq War, like the rest of the country, most of the construction and development projects in the city were stopped in order to fund the war costs.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Army, acronymed AJA , simply known as the Iranian Army or Artesh , is the "conventional military of Iran" and part of Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The 1941 invasion by the Allies of World War II resulted in a decisive loss for the Iranian forces, the deposition of Iran's Shah and five years of subsequent occupation, while the 1980 Iraqi invasion began the Iran–Iraq War, which lasted almost eight years and ended in status quo ante bellum.

After the Shah of Iran and his regime were overthrown by revolutionaries in February 1979, Iran was in a "revolutionary crisis mode" from this time until 1982 or 1983.

Elements that played a part in both the crisis and its end were the Iran hostage crisis, the invasion of Iran by Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and the presidency of Abolhassan Banisadr.
