After the signing of the Algiers Agreement on March 6, 1975 (15 Esfand 1353) and being freed from the Kurdish problem, the Iraqi Ba'athist government, which faced the least difficulty in internal affairs, paid more attention to its foreign policy and sought to move closer to the West and West-dependent Arab countries; this was a prelude to establishing contact with America and positioning itself as a replacement for Iran in the Persian Gulf, which helped the expansionist policies of the Ba'ath regime in the region.
Military Strategy With the aim of supporting Iraq and to impose economic pressure on Iran, despite the resolution issued through the United Nations based on the restraint of great powers from escalating the conflict, the United States, through its military presence in the Persian Gulf, attempted to make the passage of Iranian oil tankers in this region accompanied by restrictions and difficulties.
The direct confrontation between Iran and America in the Persian Gulf practically began in the second half of the year 1366 and, with the Islamic Republic's retaliation against American attacks by engaging Iranian frigates, made the war in the region even more inflamed.
