PC:Iraqi capture of all of Khuzestan during Iran-Iraq war

Anyway Iraq could take all of Khuzestan or the flatland during the early part of the Iran-Iraq war

Could they hold on to it if they captured it

It would be tough. In real life they were hard pressed in the southern sector and forced to defend Basra against hordes of Iranians. I suppose you could argue that reaching the Zagros mts would've meant a good defense line, but I wouldn't have bet on it....
