Summary/Abstract: One of the most important factors that affect the peace and the stability in the Middle East is the struggle for hegemony. Iraq approved twice that it is one of the most effective parameters of this struggle in the period of 1980-1990. Iran, after 1979 Revolution, tried to be the balancing power in the Middle East and even to spread the Islamic fundamentalism. This aim resulted as a harsh war between the two countries. I will try to explain briefly the reasons and results of the war and the effects of this war on Turkish foreign policy and inner politics, which are still big problems. These effects can be summarized as Kurdish nationalism, Islamic fundamentalism and the economic problems.
