Iran–Iraq War - The First Tawakalna ala Allah (Trust in God) Operation
Time: Wednesday May 25, 1988
Place: Iraqi-Iranian Border
Details: On 25 May 1988, Iraq launched the first of five Tawakalna ala Allah (Trust in God) Operations, consisting of one of the largest artillery barrages in history, coupled with chemical weapons. The marshes had been dried by drought, allowing the Iraqis to use tanks to bypass Iranian field fortifications, expelling the Iranians from the border town of Shalamcheh after less than 10 hours of combat.
