Iran–Iraq War - Operation Karbala-5
Time: Thursday Jan 8, 1987
Place: Basra Governorate, Iraq
Details: The Siege of Basra, code-named Operation Karbala-5, was an offensive operation carried out by Iran in an effort to capture the Iraqi port city of Basra in early 1987. This battle, known for its extensive casualties and ferocious conditions, was the biggest battle of the war and proved to be the beginning of the end of the Iran–Iraq War.
