Iran–Iraq War - Iraqi 1st Counter-offensive To retake al-Faw

Time: Wednesday Feb 12, 1986

Place: al-Faw Peninsula, Iraq

Details: The sudden capture of al-Faw took the Iraqis by shock, since they had thought it impossible for the Iranians to cross the Shatt al-Arab. On 12 February 1986, the Iraqis began a counter-offensive to retake al-Faw, which failed after a week of heavy fighting.
