Iran defeated the technologically advanced nation of Israel for the first time in modern history in 2025 but had a tough time fighting Iraq in 1980s. Explain.

In the 1980’s Iran had no weapons industry and bought weapons from the black market and learnt a very painful lesson. A doctrinal change in military culture and tactics was implemented learning from mistakes and a whole new asymmetrical warfare concept was created to fight opponents not on their terms, thereby negating their advantage in sophistication/ superiority.

The results of this policy are in front of us today.

Iran beat him with pure grit and doggedness and almost took Basra and many other Iraqi cities but the US started providing Saddam with chemical weapons, to blunt Iranian advances. They all got together the US, Soviets and the Chinese to stop Iran from demolishing Iraq. A decade and a half later the US handed over Iraq to Iran on a platter.

Iran even got to hang him…..
