The Iran–Iraq War[c] (Persian: جنگ ایران و عراق; Arabic: الحرب الإيرانية العراقيةwas a protracted armed conflict between Iran and Iraq that began on 22 September 1980 with the Iraqi invasion of Iran. It lasted for almost eight years and ended on 20 August 1988
During the conflict, Iraq received an abundance of financial, political, and logistical aid from the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, France, Italy, Yugoslavia, and the overwhelming majority of Arab countries. While Iran was comparatively isolated to a large degree, it received a significant amount of aid from Syria, Libya, China, North Korea, Israel, Pakistan, and South Yemen.
Both the United States and West Germany sold Iraq dual-use pesticides and poisons that would be used to create chemical weapons
Iraq's debt to Paris Club amounted to $21 billion, 85% of which had originated from the combined inputs of Japan, the USSR, France, Germany, the United States, Italy and the United Kingdom.
