This article tries to analyze Iran-Iraq war according to Parsons's subsystems framework. The main focus is on determination of negative and positive social functions of the war. Findings show that the war at first influenced behavioural organism. so that this part of society couldn't achieve its functions.Then, the produced problems transfered to personality subsystem. The war caused that most of the first five-year development plan goals didn't achieve. Social subsystem in accordance with special considerations of war time passed some laws and regulations in order to keep unity and integration of society. Cultural subsystem also spred various kinds of values in society during different phases of war and issued respective orders for other subsystems. These two last subsystems also lost their efficiency at the end of the war.
