How The Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s Explains Trump's FAILURE [View all]
Mehdi explains why President Donald Trump should have known his war on Iran was bound to go on longer than anticipated – and why the Iranians weren’t just going to roll over so quickly.
Lest we forget about the Iran-Iraq War, in which Iran held out against U.S.-backed Iraq even in the face of Iraqi chemical weapon attacks.
As always, Mehdi brings the receipts – official government documents showing just how complicit the U.S. government under Ronald Reagan was in Iraqi war crimes.
So why do Americans have such short memories when it comes to U.S. intervention in the Middle East?
