THE

IRAN-IRAQ

WAR

One million people out of a total Iraqi population
of 17 million were either killed or wounded as a
result of the war with Iran, started by the fascist
Saddam regime. Another 1 million were forced
to flee the country for political and economic rea-
sons. The nearly-decade-long war effectively ru-
ined Iraq.
