- Abstract
After the Baghdad government's decision to nationalize oil in June 1972, the American administration was already convinced that Iraq was quickly turning into a state of the Soviet Union, so the United States decided to provide support to the Iraqi Kurds through Iran, in a secret operation carried out by the CIA that began in 1972 by providing weapons and money The operation had a very limited goal, which is to strengthen the defensive capability of the Kurds in order to weaken Iraq, which is allied with Moscow, by keeping the Baghdad government preoccupied with the Kurdish issue. The process ended in 1975 when Iran signed with Iraq the Algiers Agreement, under which the Shah practically abandoned the Kurds, closed his borders and stopped all aid to the Kurds in exchange for some Iraqi concessions in the Shatt al-Arab.
