Algiers Accord

The Algiers Accord, signed in 1975, was an agreement between Iran and Iraq to resolve their long-standing border disputes and reduce tensions following years of conflict. The accord aimed to peacefully settle disagreements over territorial claims, especially around the Shatt al-Arab waterway, and promote diplomatic relations. By establishing defined borders and mechanisms for dispute resolution, the agreement sought to prevent future conflicts and foster stability between the two nations. Overall, it was a diplomatic effort to address ongoing disagreements through negotiations and legal agreements rather than violence.
