Throughout the 1980s, Iraq's oil production was significantly disrupted by the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), which led to extensive damage to oil infrastructure and frequent attacks on oil facilities. Additionally, the conflict prompted international sanctions and trade restrictions that hindered Iraq's ability to export oil.
