Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on Modern Affairs continues with a video on the Iran-Iraq War. By 1982, the Iran-Iraq War had entered a deadly new phase. Saddam Hussein's invasion had failed, and Iran was now taking the fight into Iraqi territory. But what followed was not a quick victory—it was a brutal war of attrition. In this second episode of our Iran-Iraq War documentary series, we explore Iran's massive offensives against Iraq between 1982 and 1984, including Operation Ramadan, the Battle of the Marshes, and Operation Kheibar. Iranian forces launched repeated attacks against heavily fortified Iraqi positions, suffering enormous casualties in human wave assaults. As the fighting shifted north, Kurdish forces joined Iranian operations against Saddam Hussein, while Iraq increasingly relied on chemical weapons, minefields, artillery, and its growing Republican Guard. Meanwhile, the conflict expanded beyond the battlefield. Saddam launched devastating attacks on Iranian cities, beginning the War of the Cities, while both countries targeted oil tankers and infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. With Soviet and French weapons flowing into Iraq and Iran facing international isolation, the conflict became increasingly destructive. Why couldn't Iran defeat Saddam Hussein despite its manpower advantage? And how did Iraq survive years of relentless attacks?
