The Iran–Iraq War was an armed conflict between Iran and Iraq lasting from 22 September 1980, when Iraq invaded Iran, to August 1988.
 The war followed a long history of border disputes, and was motivated by fears that the Iranian Revolution in 1979 would inspire insurgency among Iraq's Shi'ite majority, as well as Iraq's desire to replace Iran as the dominant Persian Gulf state.

The policy of the Soviet Union towards the Iran–Iraq War of 1980 to 1989 varied, beginning with a stance of "strict neutrality" and moving towards massive military support for Iraq in the final phase of the war.
 The war was inconvenient for the USSR, which had aimed to ally itself with both Iran and Iraq.
 In the first period of the war, the Soviets declared a policy of "strict neutrality" towards the two countries, at the same time urging a negotiated peace.
 Iraq had been an ally for decades and the Soviets now tried to win over Iran as well, but their offers of friendship were rebuffed by the pro-Western Shah of Iran.
 After Iranian revolution the Islamic Republic established whose slogan was "neither East nor West".
 In 1982, the war turned in Iran's favour and the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini pledged not to stop the conflict until he had overthrown the Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.
 Such a prospect was unacceptable to the Soviet Union which now resumed arms sales to Iraq while still maintaining an official policy of neutrality.
 The Soviets also feared losing Saddam's friendship to the West.
 After further Iranian gains in 1986, the Soviet Union massively increased its military aid to Iraq.
 The Soviets were now afraid of the Iranians encouraging Islamic revolution in Central Asia.
 Soviet aid allowed the Iraqis to mount a counteroffensive which brought the war to an end in August, 1988.

 At dawn on 30 September 1980, four Iranian F-4E Phantom jets refueled mid-air near the Iran-Iraq border.
 After crossing into Iraq, the fighters climbed to a higher altitude to be detectable by Iraqi radar.
 Moments later, two of the Phantoms peeled off, and dropped to a lower altitude again to avoid radar detection.
 They flew stealthily to Tuwaitha, a city ten miles (17 km) southeast of Baghdad, home to the Osirak/Osiraq nuclear reactor.
The Iraqi invasion of Iran was launched on 22 September and lasted until 7 December 1980.
