Iraqi forces attacked Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan with chemical weapons, killing thousands of civilians. Iranian forces were operating in the area and Iran publicized evidence of the attack. The massacre also targeted Kurdish civilians under Iraqi rule; it should be understood as part of Iraq’s wider campaign against Kurdish communities, not only as a bilateral battlefield event.
