Iran climbed out of their trenches once the brigades made an impact. Before that it was trench warfare, reminiscent more of turn of the century warfare than anything considered modern or cohesive strategy..
I suggest you sit down and think it over yourself instead of just repeating braindead propaganda.
Now do you really believe that the Iraqi tanks in perhaps the largest armoured attack since WWII - no matter how badly led - was stopped by teenagers, old men and handicapped with the Koran in one hand and maybe an old rifle or grenade in the other hand?
Most other people think that these attacks with very few exeptions was a senseless slaughter without realistic purposes.
What happened was that the Iranian regular army which had lost most of its
leading officers in purges after the revolution was taken by surprice, but
quickly rallied and started to promote capable junior officers on the battlefield who often had recieved their education in either the US or Europe.
Oddly the new proffessional Iranian generals were somewhat better at the job than Saddams extended family.
In any US military tank school part of the curriculum, is on the Iran-Iraq war. How the Iraqi Armored Corps was led by generals who made some of the most monumental blunders in history. They squandered a force in size and power the world had only seen one other time before. Their blunders saved Iran from having to fight for control of Tehran, quite literally...
Other people tend to think that maybe the Iranian army had a hand
in the outcome as well:
"
Operation Undeniable Victory also known as
Operation Fath-ol-Mobeen was an
Iranian operation conducted during the
Iran-Iraq War, in March 1982. Some believe that this operation was the turning point in the war
[1] and that it was this operation that led to the eviction of
Iraqi troops from Khuzestan, as this was Iran's first major victory and because the strategic initiative shifted from Iraq to Iran; Others (including
Efraim Karsh) believe it was actually the operation working in tandem with others which led to the expulsion of Iraqi troops from southern Iran. They believe that in fact,
Operation Jerusalem, which lasted from April to May 1982, had the greatest effect, because the Iranians were able to capture the strategically important city of
Khorramshahr. The Iraqis suffered much greater casualties than the Iranians, because the Iranian attack did not fully involve the unsupported frontal assaults made by the
Pasdaran which would be associated with Iranian attacks during the attempts to conquer Iraqi territory; the Iranian forces still had to contend with an Iraqi army which was entrenched on the front-line; and they enjoyed a good amount of tank, artillery and aerial support. In the operation, the Iranians were able to encircle Iraqi forces around the town of
Shush. In a week, the Iranians were able to destroy three divisions and win the battle."

The support Iraq received from the West came late. Its part of war though, allies will come to your aid, Iran has none, what does that tell you? If the West really wanted Iraq to march into Tehran it would have happened.
Oh Boy!
Saddam was supported by the US, USSR, Europe and was bankrolled
by the arabs exactly because none of the above wanted the islamic revolution to be exported to Iraq by force.
Why do you think Saddam was allowed to use poisoned gas against the Iranian forces without consequences?
Wagnijo
). I can think much more could be achieved by the US recognising the change in the balalnce of power and treating it less like a zero sum game. Engage Iran, as recently suggested in Greece by Allbright, Kissinger, Baker et al. 
Or that it was an inevitable consequence of that invasion?
