Iran–Iraq War - Saudi arabia Response
Time: Tuesday Jun 5, 1984
Place: Arabi Island, Persian Gulf
Details: Attacks on ships of noncombatant nations in the Persian Gulf sharply increased thereafter, with both nations attacking oil tankers and merchant ships of neutral nations in an effort to deprive their opponent of trade.
