But Iraq has financial backing from wealthy Gulf Arab states, as well as extensive arms supplies from the Soviet Union, France, and China, and growing political support from the West.

By contrast, Iran is increasingly isolated.
voice-verified
It simply can't hold out as long.
voice-verified
So with Iran's people tiring of the war and its armed forces increasingly on the defensive, the Supreme Leader Rahola Khomeini will soon be forced back to the negotiating table, and one of the longest wars of the 20th century will finally come to an end.
voice-verified
It's July 20, 1988, in the Iranian capital Tehran, nearly eight years after the start of the Iran-Iraq War.
voice-verified
In his compound in the city, Supreme Leader Rahola Khomeini sits at his desk, reviewing a statement that will soon be broadcast to the Iranian people.
voice-verified
His pen scratches across the page as he adjusts a word here and deletes another there.
voice-verified
And once he's finished, he reads the statement one more time.
voice-verified
The words are difficult for Khomeini to accept.
voice-verified
Iran is agreeing to a ceasefire, and this is a peace that feels a long way from victory.
voice-verified
For years, Khomeini has insisted that Iran would fight on until Saddam Hussein's regime was punished for the invasion.
voice-verified
He rejected calls for compromise and dismissed peace proposals that did not hold Iraq responsible for starting the war.
voice-verified
But recently, Saddam Hussein has escalated his use of chemical weapons.
voice-verified
The Western world has shown little desire to intervene.
voice-verified
Iran's economy is under immense strain, and the military has struggled to replace its losses.
voice-verified
So, with no end to the suffering in sight, Khomeini has reluctantly accepted United Nations Security Council Resolution 598, a proclamation that calls for an immediate ceasefire.
voice-verified
And now he must tell the people of Iran that the war is finally about to end.
voice-verified
After one last check of the document, Khomeini lowers his pen.
voice-verified
A clerk hurries away with the paper, ready to distribute it to the press.
voice-verified
And soon Khomeini's words are broadcast across the country by state media, and the response of the Iranian people is subdued.
