Talk:Iran–Libya relations

Inconsistent information regarding Iran/Libyan relations in the late 1980s
The Iran-Libya relations article states the following: "The Iranian revolution of 1979 resulted in the overthrow of the Shah and the improvement of Iranian-Libyan relations.[1] The turning point in Iran–Libya relations came during the Iran-Iraq War, when Libya came to Iran's aid despite western pressure to keep Iran isolated. During the war Libya and Syria were Iran's only middle eastern allies.[3][4][5]

Iranian-Libyan cooperation during the 1990s led to the construction of factories, roads, and hospitals in both Libya and Iran. Ghadafi would even visit then Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. At the UN Security Council, Ghadafi vindicated Iran's nuclear program and opposed western sanctions against the Islamic Republic.[1] However, relations between the two nations would again become strained following the kidnapping and probable murder of the influential Shia leader Musa al Sadr in Libya.[6]"

However, other Wikipedia articles put the kidnapping of Musa al Sadr in 1978; long before the friendly relations between Iran and Libya in the 1980s-1990s timeframe. conny roussos (talk) 16:35, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Constantine Roussos
