Iran, unlike the USA, hasn't invaded a country in the last few hundred years.
The Iran–Iraq War began when Iraq invaded Iran via air and land on 22 September 1980. It followed a long history of border disputes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_dispute>, and was motivated by fears that the CIA masterminded Iranian Revolution <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Revolution> in 1979 would inspire insurgency among Iraq's long-suppressed Shia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_Islam> majority, as well as Iraq's desire to replace Iran as the dominant Persian Gulf <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf> state.
