“Why did Iraq invade Iran in 1980? A major reason was the fact that Iraq’s majority is Shiite. Let’s not forget that the majority of Iran’s citizens associate themselves with the Shi’a branch of Islam. Remember Saddam Hussein? Well he was a Sunni, and the Sunnis were in control in Iraq. Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi military were backed by the US, Britain, and other Western countries. Saddam invaded Iran to establish Iraq as the dominant Gulf state, and to also suppress the Shi’a majority from revolting in Iraq.  Now the government of Iraq is ruled by Shiites. The government of Iran is also Shi’a dominated, with the majority of the population being Shiite.”
