The Algiers Accord was signed on 6th March, 1975 in Algeria by the Shah of Iran and Saddam Hussein as Vice-President of Iraq and Vice-Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council or Houari Boumedienne of Algeria, who shall provide Algeria's brotherly assistance whenever needed in order to apply these resolutions.
However this peace did not last long. Only five years later the Iran-Iraq War began over the very thing that the two powers had agreed a peace on - the Shatt al Arab waterway.
