In our assigned passage of the comic-memoir Persepolis, the subject of the Iran-Iraq war is a significant part of Marjane’s life in Iran. She goes into depth about the serious toll the war is taking on those around her, noting how devastating it was. To further understand the brutality and historical context of the war, I researched into the subject.
The Iran-Iraq war began in 1980 with an Iraqi invasion of Iran. In the following months, the Iranian military was able to push back the Iraqis, and by 1982, Iraq removed all of its soldiers from captured territory. Although war could have ended, the Iranian leader, Ruhollah Khomeini, still wanted to fight against Iraq, and tried to attack. Marjane notes this in how she states on page 116 how the war could have ended, yet the government decided to continue the onslaught. Even worse, as she also notes, the Iranian army attempted many frivolous attacks on Iranian territory during the conflict repetitively. Instead of using actual strategy, these attacks usually consisted of long waves of abducted inexperienced conscripts who were killed almost instantly. These mobs of soldiers were very young and did not even go out properly armed against the enemy. The continuity of these attacks resulted in massive casualties and were ineffective against Iraqi firepower. Furthermore, the war included various chemical attacks on Iranian soldiers and civilians, which Marjane also observes on page 122. The conflict eventually stopped in 1988, and officially ceased with a treaty in 1990. The casualties were very high, having a death toll of around a million, with Iran receiving the greatest death toll.
