Iran-Iraq Conflict Explained on Maps

Situated at the crossroads of Central Asia, South Asia, and the Arab states of the Middle East, Iran and Iraq are two neighboring countries, which share almost the same name but possess two different cultures and different histories.

Over the centuries, the relations between the Iranians and Iraqis have deteriorated due to disputes over territory, which culminated in the Iran-Iraq War of 1980.
