The Iran-Iraq War, was an armed conflict between Iran and Iraq that lasted from 1980 to 1988. Active hostilities began with the Iraqi invasion of Iran and lasted for nearly eight years, until the acceptance of United Nations Security Council Resolution 598 by both sides.
Iraq's primary rationale for the attack against Iran cited the need to prevent Ruhollah Khomeini from exporting the new Iranian ideology to Iraq.
In total, around 500,000 people were killed during the Iran-Iraq War, with Iran bearing the larger share of the casualties, excluding the tens of thousands of civilians killed in the concurrent Anfal campaign that targeted Iraqi Kurdistan.
The end of the conflict resulted in neither reparations nor border changes, and the combined financial losses suffered by both combatants is believed to have exceeded $1 trillion. The conflict has been compared to World War I in terms of the tactics used by both sides, including large scale trench warfare with barbed wire stretched across fortified defensive lines, manned machine gun posts, bayonet charges, Iranian human wave attacks.
