The Iran-Iraq war is a weird one. Its not very well known at all though to read about it its actually rather interesting.
Its one of the few real wars there have been in the second half of the 20th century. Sort of a WW1 with modern technology.
But WI it never happened?
Say Iraq's intelligance gets a lucky break and they figure out that its unlikely to be a quick victory. They still want to become more powerful but invading its neighbours is not the way to do this.
