Iran–Iraq War - Operation al-Fawz al-'Azim (Supreme Success)
Time: Thursday Mar 18, 1982
Place: Iran
Details: The Iraqis, realising that the Iranians were planning to attack, decided to preempt them with Operation al-Fawz al-'Azim (Supreme Success) on 19 March. Using a large number of tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets, they attacked the Iranian buildup around the Roghabiyeh pass. Though Saddam and his generals assumed they had succeeded, in reality the Iranian forces remained fully intact.
