During the Iran-Iraq war, both sides maintained a tough attitude. Saddam Hussein's army completed the siege of Iran's port cities, but at the end of the month, Iraq assembled 654.38+million troops to fight back, lifting the siege of Iran. Since then, the Iranian side is in full swing. Saddam Hussein's meeting to discuss is only a superficial phenomenon, with the aim of delaying the time as much as possible and giving his army a breathing space. In Saddam's view, it is impossible to compromise with Iran and step down. He hopes that the military's own political officials can support the continued war with Iran with a tough attitude, even at all costs.
At that time, the Iranian revolution had just succeeded, and some excellent officers had unfortunate experiences. However, Khomeini, who just came to power, broke off diplomatic relations with the United States because of westernization, which led to the failure to replenish many weapons and components in time and greatly weakened his combat effectiveness. Khomeini, who just took office, has not fully established himself in Iran, which has been weakened for various reasons. Saddam hoped to take the opportunity to attack Iran, so as to gain oil control in the Arab region and interrupt Khomeini's revolution against Iraq. ?
Although the Iranian revolution has just succeeded, Iran's combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened due to the breaking of diplomatic relations with the United States, the lack of timely replenishment and updating of weapons and equipment in all aspects, and the civil war and other reasons. So Saddam wanted to take the opportunity to attack Iran and control the oil resources in the Gulf as soon as possible. ?
