First Battle of al-Faw
The First Battle of al-Faw (Operation Dawn 8) fought from 9 February – 20 March 1986 (with heavy combat operations lasting until early 1988), was a battle of the Iran–Iraq War. The Iranians launched a sophisticated, carefully planned amphibious attack across the Shatt al-Arab (Arvand Rud) river against the Iraqi troops (mostly Iraqi Popular Army) defending the strategic al-Faw Peninsula, which connects Iraq to the Persian Gulf, capturing the tip of the peninsula, including Iraq's main air control and warning center (which was covering Persian Gulf). The Iranians defeated several Iraqi Republican Guard's counter-offensives and managed to remain in to their foothold. Iraq extensively used chemical weapons during the battle.
