After losing most of his territorial gains by May 1982 (when Iran recaptured Khorramshahr), Saddam Husseinâs strategic response was to proclaim a unilateral cease-fire (June 10, 1982) while ordering Iraqi forces to withdraw to the border.
This left the country's Shiite population split between the members and supporters of the Ba'ath Party, and those who sympathized with the Iranian position. In 1980, Hussein claimed that Iranian forces were trying to topple his government[citation needed] and declared war on Iran. Saddam Hussein supported the Iranian Islamic socialist organization called the People's Mujahedin of Iran which opposed the Iranian government. During the IranâIraq War Iraqi forces attacked Iranian soldiers and civilians with chemical weapons.
