In the event of a war between the Shah's Iran and Ba'athist Iraq over a Kurdish uprising in 1976 or 1977, who would win? Would the Americans and/or Soviets get militarily involved beyond sending aid? How would neighbouring countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Syria and Egypt react? Would they get involved as well?
As you can tell, this is for the Saddam Hussein death thread and its eventually TL, "A 'Tragedy' in Tikrit"...
