Iran–Iraq War - Iraqi 2nd Counter-offensive To retake al-Faw
Time: Monday Feb 24, 1986
Place: al-Faw Peninsula, Iraq
Details: On 24 February 1986, Saddam sent one of his best commanders, General Maher Abd al-Rashid, and the Republican Guard to begin a new offensive to recapture al-Faw. A new round of heavy fighting took place. However, their attempts again ended in failure, costing them many tanks and aircraft: their 15th mechanised division was almost completely wiped out.
