Iran Iraq war, Which country lost more ?

I believe it was Iraq who lost more...The reasons are:

1- Iran has 3 times more population than Iraq, and did use a tactic called "human wave", using her huge population and sacrificing the people, even women and children, but Iraq had invested in technology, and paid a lot to use technological weapons bought from USA and Europe,and even Soviet Union..Therefore, fell into a great amount debt pit after the war...Iran was more likely to compensate, but Iraq wasn't able to compensate the debts.

2-The Gulf War, which definitely weakened Iraq with all its aspects, occurred due to the results of Iran-Iraq War.Kuwait refused to delay put off the Iraqi debts and Iraq invaded.

3-The fractions in Iraq, like the Shiites or Kurds got more restless after the war due to instability that the long-lasting war had caused.

4-The Sunni Muslim countries who had egged Iraq on to get rid of the radical Shiite danger of Iran had deserted Iraq after the war, of course by requesting what they had given to Iraq during the war

5-One thing to be mentioned is that both sides getting definitely NOTHING at the end of the war...Neither sides gained anything and lost a lot, so it is a war that didn't give any profit to any sides.The winner of that war was definitely the countries who had the most benefit out of this war was the countries who sold weapons and equipment to those countries and some Sunni Muslim countries who supported Iraq and reached their aim of weakening Iran at least for a bit and a while.

I remember reading that out of the 700,000 dead (approximate figure) in the Persian Gulf War, 400,000 were Iraqis (again approximate figure). I cannot remember the source, sorry, and of course it dose not include wounded, missing and prisoners.

both countries lost a lot, but here is why iran lost more, yet still managed to bring about a stalemate:

1) the whole of teh western world supported iraq with weapons (chemical and biological), money, logistics, training, satellite imagery, and by using their navies (USA) of keeping iran from manuevering in the Persian Gulf. the Arab world funded iraq with billions of dollars.

2) Iran, with no allies and barely any help, had to resort to some drastic measures, using its population.

3) after the revolution, iran had disbanded the army, and the mullahs had executed many generals and soldiers.

All i can say is thank God that the shah stockpiled so many US weapons before the revolution. with out those, iran would have definetly lost.

iran had more casualties and infrastructural damage, therefore it lost more in the short run, but iraq lost more in the long run due to their debt.

It was more because of Iran's tactic of "human wave",sending even women and children to the front to form huge numbers in the fight.That's why Iranian casualties were more.

The help of those "a lot" of countries to Iraq later was costly for Iraq,showing its effects till today. 

first of all, women were never used in these human wave attacks, however children under the age of 18 (probably 15-18, supposedly volunteers, accompanied by older men ofcourse) were used in human wave attacks.

i dont even think women were used as soldiers at the time.

but this  was all due to the fact that iran didnt have the support, help, and technology iraq was given.

I understand ur hatred for the mullahs but to blame everything on the mullahs is a bit extreme. Did the mullahs start the war? who did the mullah fight to win? It is about the war. If there was a power vacuum that only the mullahs could fill then y blame them for doing so.

What do u think is happening in Iraq, power vacuum and <---mullahs in power.

they did, they are called the MKO, the most hated people in iran. if you ask the general public about what they think of the MKO (traitor pigs!!!) they would say that they need to be killed!

the MKO are the most hated in iran because they betrayed iran in its time of most need.

There wer female brigades but they were not on teh front lines.
