They had a documentary on that whole war and what I found fascinating is that Soviet Russia and the US where in total agreement in this situation. They wanted a war between Iraq and Iran but they didn't want anyone of them to be victorious so they armed them accordingly and succeeded in what they wanted to accomplish.
