erm in general we must remember that iran was erm stating very clearly that it was exporting it's revolution and there were statements which came out from the iraqui  from the irani revolutionary committee that they were against the arab states at the time and that they were very committed towards liberating israel through baghdad and such statements was coming, so obviously erm the arabs had to stick together according to charter of the league of arab states, which everybody was a member of, and iraq being subjected to to to war it was natural for the arabs to give iraq support.
