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)
