Tawakkul Operation (Persian: عملیات توکل) is the name of a military operation during the Iran–Iraq War[1][2][3][4] (in the general area of Abadan) which was launched by the regular Iranian Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in January 1981.
The operation
[edit]Armored divisions of the Iranian Army began the operation from two axes, and the Iranian infantry started from the third axis.[5] The commanders of Arvand military Headquarters who had the command operation, planned the to break the siege of Abadan (and likewise reclaim the area east of Karun River; and pushing the enemy back towards the international border of Shalamcheh and the Khin-river).[6]
Aftermath
[edit]A large number of Iraqi soldiers at a part of Abadan were captured and the line of Iraqi forces was destroyed.[7][8][9] However, the Iranians could not stabilize their situation or reach their planned objective.[10]
