Why is this a tie ? (Should be irans victory)[edit]

Why is this listed as a tie? I am so confused. Saddam said he would take over iran and failed. Not only did he fail, but iran gained some of Iraqi territory which it then lost back to iraq. How is this a tie? It is obvious iran won. 216.181.132.21 (talk) 07:33, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Pakistan didnt choose a side they sold weapons to iran. Just like Vietnam and a handful of other countries which aren't included as combatants here.
