Video Description
On 22 September 1980, Saddam Hussein launched an Iraqi invasion of neighbouring Iran. Days later, ITN’s Jon Snow travelled to the frontline to report on the conflict as Iranian forces, still reeling in the aftermath of revolution, fought a determined resistance against the invading Iraqis. The Iran-Iraq War would rage for the next eight years, reshaping the region and setting in motion a chain of events that would define the world as we know it today. Presented here is a series of reports covering the first months of fighting in the Iranian border province of Khuzestan, in particular the port city of Khorramshahr, Abadan oil refinery, and the Shatt-al-Arab waterway. 00:00 Introduction 02:21 1.
