> Iran could plainly see the consequences of Saddam's (lack of) WMDs being the death of Iraq (though they had a helping hand in that catastrophe. Shame on them for that).
Iraq had WMDs, they were given to them by the US in the iran-iraq war IIRC. Saddam destroyed them per US instructions, and they jewed him anyways. It was just an excuse to destroy Iraq for Israel. Saddam was a US puppet, and he was backstabbed by us for israel’s benefit.
Also why would Iran care about Saddam being toppled? He did attack them unprovoked which resulted in a million+ deaths and years of warfare. It’s not like those countries were friends, far from it.
Chemical weapons. Not nukes. We all know what the nice jew on TV was implying when they said "WMDs". But even so, yes they didn't even have them anymore.
>Saddam was a US puppet
He was a pretty fucking shit US puppet then because he immediately pivoted towards the USSR and arab nationalism as soon as he took office.
>unprovoked
It was definitely provoked. Iran was playing the part of a pretty bad actor by being the monkey wrench thrown into the gears of Iraq-Syria relations and unification attempts. Furthermore, funding Kurdish terrorists and receiving money from Israel is a bad look. Israel played Iran like a damned fool until after Iraq fell.
>It’s not like those countries were friends, far from it
There was absolutely a possibility of them being allies or even uniting if Hafez Al-assad did not pivot towards Iran and atomize the Arabs because of his ego being hurt due to the fact that Iraq would have obviously been the dominant power of a state merger.
