Just for the record on the photos. The current "Gulf War' is the third, not the second. The second Gulf War is the '91 outbreak.
The first gulf war was from sept. 1980 till aug. 1988. It was this war in which the US supplied Iran with F-14 TomCats, Stingers, and all other sorts of weapons what, nowadays is the most inconvenient thing ever happened since most of the weapons are still in use by the US..... also in case of an intervention with Iran. Though this should not be any argument to leave it out of the Gulf war "counting".
But sure nice photos!  |
The most commonly accepted names for these wars (At least in English) are the Iran-Iraq War, Gulf War and Iraq War respectively.
Also, the US did not supply Iran with weaponry during the Iran-Iraq War, IIRC it in fact supplied Iraq rather extensively. Iran did have US-made weapons which it acquired before the revolution, but the lack of ability to get replacement parts for them was a major problem for the Iranian military.
