Summary

The Iran-Iraq War was one of the longest and most destructive wars of the twentieth century. Global interest in the Middle East and dependence upon oil supplies from the Persian Gulf led to widespread and intense international interest in the war, which coincided with a rise in Islamic militancy and political instability in the region.
