The US helped Iraq in that war with attacks, information, and even annihilating Iran's navy. Of course, many other major countries also helped Iraq such as Russia, China, and France along with others.
This was very shortly after Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini declared he would march his extremist forces across the Middle East, declared Israel to be "Little Satan" and the US to be the "Big Satan".

Hater. France and Russia have been Iraq's important organisation of weapons and the two Iraq and Iran initiated border clashes till now Iraq invaded Iran. interesting certainty here, Israel unquestionably offered Iran with weapons in the wish the two international places might proceed killing one yet another. i think even the righteous will take their killing machines anyplace they could get them. As for the U.S., they did lower back Saddam's regime for a time because of the fact it replaced into U.S. coverage to attempt and shop radical and huge-unfold strikes from coming to means. in the top, the two facets benefited from American weapons, the two rapidly or from Israel (who have been given them from the U.S.) lower back, the two facets won intelligence from the U.S. besides. It wasn't till the Iranian government revealed they have been getting help from u.s. (undergo in strategies the Iran-Contra scandal?) that they leaned in the direction of the Iraqi area fairly than play the midsection. As for the naval fact, definite, the U.S. military did have interaction in some sea fights and the U.S. presence did help the Iraqi military via combating Iranian reprisals for Iraqi assaults on Iranian ships. actual no longer something to be pleased with. however the Iranian military did its very own share of sinking civilian vessels even after the U.S. military arrived. and do not forget, it replaced into Russian ships that have been escorting ships with arms sure to Iraq. in the top, many countries could be ashamed for his or her strikes in this time. the two facets used little ones on the front traces and purposely attacked civilians. France, Russia, u.s., China and the U.N. besides as others all carry a level of accountability. in charge all of it on the U.S. is ignorant. people who hate the "great devil" will have faith even the dumbest of assertions.
