Iraq attacked Iran without any warning, but its offensive was repelled by the Iranian forces, this has to be in the outcome of the war as it's an important fact. I also added a source for it. Although Iranian forces were also repelled from Iraq in 1988, Iran's goal of war was not to invade Iraq.185.147.83.182 (talk) 04:23, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Both sides had a goal of invading each other's territories at one point or another. 1. Iraq did it intially, hoping Iran would fail to retake land, eventually being forced to enter negotiations, in which they would have to give in to Iraqi demands of full sovereignity over the Shatt Al Arab and giving back certain disputed territories along the shared border, (which had not been returned as per the Algiers Agreement of 1975). 2. Iran from 1982 and on, seeing the need to capture land to use at the eventual negotiations in exchange for Iraq accepting Iranian demands, for instance agreeing to stop any further aggression against Iran, as well as possibly other demands (mentioned in the beginning of the article). These were the minimalist approaches. Both had maximalist approaches as well (already stated in the result section). PersianFire (talk) 17:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
It's not a mirror, it's a published paper. Also, to make it clear, did Iraq annex any Iranian territory during the war ? If no, this means that its offensive has been repelled, right ? How can you guys deny this ?185.147.83.168 (talk) 21:14, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Eg see Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628, the Persian invasion of the Byzantine Empire has been repelled and this is in the outcome, nothing else, i'm not trying to include false events, just a fact that is sourced.185.147.83.168 (talk) 21:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
@General Ization: Sorry, but the source you linked above is not the one i added in my last edit, it was this source that i added : https://resources.saylor.org/wwwresources/archived/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/HIST351-11.1.4-Iran-Iraq-War.pdf Also, how is "Iraqi offensive repelled" controversial ? Were they repelled yes or no ? Is this sourced yes or no ?185.147.83.168 (talk) 21:25, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
@General Ization: I understand, but could you please explain me why is this content's inclusion controversial ?185.147.83.168 (talk) 21:32, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
@General Ization: I saw Persian fire's comment, but what he said is only partially true. Iran never intended to annex Iraqi territory, but Iraq did. Thus, it's quite obvious that this should be included in the outcome of the war. Would it be ok if i find another source for it ?185.147.83.168 (talk) 21:41, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
@Babak Mirsalehi: On 2020-02-28 User:Babak Mirsalehi changed "result" from "Stalemate" to "Iranian military victory" with companion changes in the Infobox. These seem to be major changes in a prominent summary and should not be made without a substantive discussion in this "Talk" page, describing how those changes more accurately reflect the content of the article than the previous text. Accordingly, I've reverted most of those changes. DavidMCEddy (talk) 13:35, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
I cannot find a decent source for the declaration of war. From the Iraqi invasion of Iran page, I can see the statement "On 17 September Iraqi President Saddam Hussein announced that Iraq abrogated the 1975 Algiers Agreement and intended to exercise full sovereignty over the disputed Shatt al-Arab river." However, I do not see a formal declaration of war. Can anyone help out here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johncdraper (talk • contribs) 12:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
