Because 99.9% of Iran's military equipment was U.S made. The U.S sanctioned Iran. No parts = waste of equipment.
It was not just a war with Iraq.
The Arabs gave Saddam over 60 billion dollars.
Saudi F-15s shot down a couple Iranian F-4s
The U.S gave Iraq chemical weapons
Russia supplied Iraq over and over. Iraq lost almost 3x more equipment, but they kept getting supplied.
U.S attacked Iran's navy.
Iran was not being resupplied. They were getting missiles, etc from China but that is it.
They ran out of weapons basically.
1989 War is over. Iran's military program is formed. Iran starts creating their own weapons.
On top of that a large portion of Iran's military equipment was used against them. MEK Iran's internal terrorist organization was fighting with the Arabs to destroy Iran. They deflected to Iraq with Iran's military equip. and started to help Iraq.
MEK = scumbag pieces of ******.
The west calls it the Iran-Iraq War.
Iranians call it the Iran-Arab War
