This page is an unneeded POV fork of Iran–Iraq War which itself is mostly on the military history of the war.
Besides the fork concerns, the article itself was created by a sock puppet. Current authorship: 91.9% of the current text in the article is written by the sock puppet. 6.4% is from a manual application of IABot (a technical edit), another 1.6% is from bots, and the remaining ~0.2% is from other users. If retained, this 158k article (99.8% sock+IABOT manually+bots) would require scrutiny on the content. Eostrix ( 🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 21:52, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. The content is mostly duplicated from
Iran–Iraq War, and though I can't speak as to whether the minor differences are POV pushing, the fact that there is so little new content does suggest that there is no need for an article to exist here - perhaps in the future the content can be split from the Iran-Iraq War page, but that should be done with consensus, attribution, and removal of the split content from said page.

- Noting that after the creation by mostly copying (unattributed, Diannaa attributed for the creator) from the parent article on November 2018, there was no comparable excision of content from Iran–Iraq War (from November 2018 through today in August 2021 the parent article has grown in size and there were no edit chains removing portions of the article this is evident from the article history and may be seen in abbreviated form in the Year counts section of the revision statistics). The parent article has since seen the attention of editors (over a 1,000 edits), while this fork is mostly static with around 20 edits (and many of them technical in nature).-- Eostrix ( 🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 07:32, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
