Soldiers in the army

Are soldiers allowed to question their commanding officers decisions or instructions? If a soldier thinks what he’s asked to do is illegal, can he refuse to do this?

Yes but it is very rare, and the reaction changes from army to army, usually it happens when soldiers are asked to deal with citizens - mainly when they are asked to kill innocent ones. After the soldier refuses the order he would usually stand for a trial – and the judge (a military personal) will have to decide what the punishment will be.

Iran Iraq War

The IranIraq War, also known as the Imposed War (جنگ تحمیلی, Jang-e-tahmīlī) and Holy Defense (دفاع مقدس, Defā'-e-moghaddas) in Iran, and Saddām's Qādisiyyah (قادسيّة صدّام, Qādisiyyat Ṣaddām) in Iraq, was a war between the armed forces of Iraq and Iran lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. The war began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980 following a long history of border disputes and fears of Shia insurgency among Iraq's long suppressed Shia majority influenced by Iran's Islamic revolution. Although Iraq hoped to take advantage of revolutionary chaos in Iran and attacked without formal warning, they made only limited progress into Iran and within several months were repelled by the Iranians who regained virtually all lost territory by June 1982. For the next six years Iran was on the offensive. Despite several calls for a ceasefire by the United Nations Security Council, hostilities continued until 20 August 1988. The last prisoners of war were exchanged in 2003.
