The operation edit
Armored divisions of the Iranian Army began the operation from two axes, and the Iranian infantry started from the third axis.[5] The commanders of Arvand military Headquarters who had the command operation, planned the to break the siege of Abadan (and likewise reclaim the area east of Karun River; and pushing the enemy back towards the international border of Shalamcheh and the Khin-river).[6]
Aftermath edit
A large number of Iraqi soldiers at a part of Abadan were captured and the line of Iraqi forces was destroyed.[7][8][9] However, the Iranians could not stabilize their situation or reach their planned aims.[10]
