Kuwait was a justified war on the part of Iraq.

Kuwaiti oil companies were slant drilling into Iraqi oil fields.

During the Iran-Iraq war, Ayatollah Khomeini wanted to take the middle east. Kuwait gave Iraq money for stopping Iran. Kuwait slant drilling into Iraq made paying back that money a problem. The invasion of Kuwait was the response to the theft of Iraqi resources.

Saddam initially welcomed the Iranian Revolution, Iran never warmed up with Iraq though. Immediately upon seizing power, Khomeini called for Iraqis to launch an Islamic jihad. Saddam, either not knowing this or believing he could befriend them in spite of this, offered his fill support to Iran but was completely ignored.

So Iran was calling for Islamic revolution in Iraq and stoking the fire. Ironically, Israel supported Iran in this moment (gee I wonder why), so Iraq invaded Iran. It ended up being a stalemate because Israel sold billions of dollars worth of high grade American shit to Iran (even though at this time Iraq was an American ally, but nobody ever talks about this)
