Abstract
The war between Iran and Iraq had a wide impact on the literature of the two nations.Abdol Vahed a contemporary Iraqi poet, and Qazve an Iranian poet, had a special view of this event, and they viewed this war through the lens of their own experience and belief and reflected it in their poems. Therefore, in this study, using a descriptive-analytical method, examples of conceptual metaphors in poems related to the Iran-Iraq war were counted in the poems of selected poets from the two countries and the areas of origin and destination were examined. In this way, while examining the conceptual system of the formation of metaphors, the structure of metaphors was studied, and the differences in ideology, cultural attitudes, and religious beliefs of the two nations regarding the aforementioned event were examined in a comparative manner. Based on the beliefs of conceptual metaphor experts, the functions and effects of the conceptual system and dominant cultural discourse of each country on the attitudes of the people and the poems of the two poets were studied. The findings of the study showed that the conceptual metaphors in the poems of Qazve and Abdol vahed were of an ontological and structured type. Qazve used metaphors based on the epic and mystical discourse of his time about the battle against invaders and world-eaters. Abdol vahed also praised the bravery of the Iraqi army by using conceptual metaphors based on the history of the Arab people.
