1980–88, protracted military conflict between Iran and Iraq. It officially began on Sept. 22, 1980, with an Iraqi land and air invasion of western Iran, although Iraqi spokespersons maintained that Iran had been engaging in artillery attacks on Iraqi towns since Sept. 4. Iraqi president Saddam Hussein claimed as the reason for his attack on Iran a territorial dispute over the Shatt al Arab, a waterway that empties into the Persian Gulf and forms the boundary between Iran and Iraq.

Война Ирана и Ирака за контроль над руслом пограничной реки Шатт-Эль-Араб и некоторые спорные пограничные территории. Воспользовавшись ослаблением Ирана в результате исламской революции 1979 года, иракский президент Саддам Хусейн 22 сентября 1980 года приказал вторгнуться на иранскую территорию. Однако он недооценил как численного превосходства противника, так и запасов вооружения, накопленных за время правления шаха Мохаммеда Реза Пехлеви.
