>> yeah, i mean, iranian intervention in iraq is nothing new. the ties between iran and iraq are very, very old, they go back to the era of the ottomans. in the 15th, 16th century. in the 1970s the shah's goal essentially was to paralyze the iraqi army, to keep the arab nationalists iraqi governments busy fighting the kurds in the north of iraq rather than making trouble for the iran in the south. the support for the iraqi kurds begins in the early 1960s in cooperation with israel. iran's intelligence service and the israel intelligence service begin a covert operation to support the iraqi kurds. it's very important that iran has a role here because the iranian border was the only way for the israelis to actually be able to access kurdish territory. there is no other way to physically get in there. but of course for the iranians it's very sensitive because iran has its owned kurdish population and the last thing that the shah wanted was an independent kurdistan in northern iraq, which could create all kinds of problems in iran. so he played this very some would say c

so that started the terrible iran-iraq war started. it started five weeks before the u.s. presidential election in 1980. and even though iran by that point had been holding all these americans hostage for more than a year, iran decided that they would do a deal to let the american hostages out. and one of the reasons why is that they knew the deal would involve a lot of money. one of the things they would be trading the hostages for was the freeing up of iranian assets. and they desperately needed that because of the giant conventional land war they had just entered into with one of their neighboring countries. they needed the money. and so as president carter campaigned for his re-election in the 1980 campaign, carter administration officials were hard at work in negotiation with the iranians to get the american hostages out. and the iranians, by all accounts, really hated president jimmy carter. i mean, they hated america generally but they particularly hated president carter. and they negotiated a deal to free the hostages that would go into effect the day that presiden
