No problem. I am most sorry for the Arab Iranians. They really got the shaft.

Saddam Hussein was relying heavily on Iran’s 2% Arab populace on the border with Iraq in Khuzestan (70% or more of Iran’s oil is located there), however, the Iranian Arabs fought harder against Saddam than even the Persians. No amount of Arab sentiment worked because they see themselves as Iranians first.
