That was his justification to get arabs behind him

What do you think his goal was

If that wasn’t his goal why did he send the large majority of the army to Khuzestan during the initial invasion

Solidify his control over the region and by 1988 he had the strongest army in the Middle East stronger than Israel

There wasnt much movement up north

First of all it’s actually called Ahwaz

He didn’t solidify his control over the region

Or is that another thing?

He was so humiliated Kuwait decided to horizontally drill Iraqi oil

What

Bruh Khomeini literally said he felt like drinking poison after the war because he knew how badly he lost against a smaller country

He didn’t lose

And Saddam came out of the war with the strongest army in the Middle East

You know what happened two years later?

Okay well search it Khomeini literally considered suicide after the war ended lmao

That army was destroyed lol

3 years

Not 2

Yea but Iran’s Air Force still haven’t recovered from that war which is why even UAE has a bigger Air Force

The shia control Iraq now

So who really won

But who did that

Not Iran

US

So?

Iran uses the chaos to get what it wanted

how did they use chaos

They shias were handed power from us not Iran

The*

When the US began pulling out and the Iraqi army collapsed in 2014

Who swooped in to replace that army

Iran backed militias

The biggest militia in Iraq is the sadr’s militia

And now the leader of those militia is in the government coalition

No it’s not

Yes it is lmao by far

Nigga he’s the most popular person in Iraq

His militia isnt

It is the most powerful wanna know why

The people who like Sadr aren’t the type to join militias

Because unlike the other shias sadr actually fought the us invasion
