Abstract With manifold political, economic, and security interests in the Persian Gulf region, the United States has constantly practiced an interventionist approach pertaining to the relations between the countries in the region. This approach has turned into action through a wide spectrum of tools such as security treaties, financial aids, arms sales, economic pressure, military involvement, and so forth. Considering the increasing significance of the changing role of the US in regional developments, the present paper employs a qualitative approach to provide an in-depth understanding of the US role in the initiation, continuation, and cessation of the Iraqi Ba’ath regime war (1980–88) against the Islamic Republic of Iran. After conducting a concise and analytical overview on different courses of action taken by the US during war years, the paper puts forth the argument that the US behavior has followed a pendular pattern, creating a regional belt to support Ba’ath regime in Iraq on the one hand, and contain the military and ideological power of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the other. Acting upon an interest-oriented grand strategy, the US unique behavior during the war has been set to ultimately meet the manifold interests of the country in the Persian Gulf region.

Abstract One of the important dimensions of propaganda that the Iraqi regime focused on was comprehensive propaganda against Iran's captivity; Especially when the aggressor Iraqi soldiers were defeated in the war with Iran or the Iranian soldiers inflicted fatal blows on them, as well as when the news about Iraqi soldiers taking refuge in the war and Iraqi prisoners in Iran was published, the propaganda activities of the Iraqi regime against the captivity of Iran is increasing. Iran's response to the deceptive propaganda of the Iraqi regime was the formation of the "comiteie tavlighat va ravabete omumi" as a sub-category of the "Iraqi Prisoners Administration Commission", whose purpose was to counter the enemy's propaganda about Iran's captivity and reflect the humanitarian behavior of Iranians towards Iraqi prisoners. In the upcoming research, we are trying to analyze the performance of this committee in the face of Iraq's extensive propaganda against Iran's captivity, while investigating the necessity of forming a "comiteie tavlighat va ravabete omumi" during the Holy Defense period, using a descriptive and analytical method and based on archival documents. .

The findings of this research show that Iran formed a "comiteie tavlighat va ravabete omumi" to counter Iraq's propaganda, whose main task was to reflect the real behavior of Iran's captivity. In this regard, this committee reflected to the world the condition of Iraqi prisoners in terms of health, education and work by holding handicraft exhibitions, as well as by inviting domestic and foreign journalists to the camps

General Soleimani established local networks out of native forces to defend friendly countries with a low cost; admittedly, his measure could be considered a hyper-advanced, smart and strategic military masterpiece.
