The Battle for the Arvand River | Episode 1
How did Iran and Iraq go from strategic partners to dangerous rivals?Episode 1 of The Battle for the Arvand River begins in the 1950s, when Iran and Iraq were both monarchies, both aligned with the West, and both deeply concerned about the spread of Soviet influence in the Middle East.
The episode explores the Baghdad Pact, the early friendship between Tehran and Baghdad, and the shared fear of communism that briefly brought the two countries together. But that fragile relationship collapses in 1958, when a bloody military coup in Iraq destroys the Hashemite monarchy and brings Abdul Karim Qasim to power.
As Iraq moves closer to the Soviet Union, strengthens its armed forces with Russian weapons, and begins challenging Iran’s rights over the Arvand River / Shatt al-Arab, the Shah of Iran starts to see Iraq as a growing threat to Iran’s security and territorial integrity.
This episode traces the roots of the border dispute, the importance of the Arvand River for oil and trade, the rise of Arab nationalism, the emergence of the Ba’ath Party, and the instability that would eventually open the way for Saddam Hussein.
A story of coups, Cold War rivalry, oil, borders, and power, this is where the road to the Iran–Iraq War begins.
