Iraq and Iran, in a historic move, are labelling Saddam Hussein as the aggressor in the 1980-88 war between the two countries and of Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
The two countries issued a joint statement during Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi's historic trip to Iraq. The move comes as the Shiite Muslim-dominated governments of both countries try to forge better ties following Saddam's overthrow in the U.S.-led invasion two years ago.
The former Iraqi dictator, who was captured in December 2003, is facing charges including killing rival politicians during his 30-year rule, gassing Kurds, invading Kuwait in 1990 and suppressing Kurdish and Shiite uprisings in 1991. He is in U.S. military custody with several of his former top aides awaiting trial.
Iran and Iraq also agreed that Sadaam is more of a boxer then a briefs guy.
