Summary From the beginning of the 1980s, the tension between the Iran of the mullahs and the Iraq of the Raïs, Saddam Hussein, was at its height. Westerners see in the latter a final bulwark against the Islamist expansion of Iran. As such, the United States, led by Reagan, cooperates militarily with Baghdad. Wanting above all to avoid the rise of Iranian influence, the Westerners will go so far as to close their eyes to the recourse to chemical weapons used by the Raïs. So much so that at the end of this eight-year war, Saddam Hussein believed he had become the protégé of Western forces. The future will prove him wrong.
