Operation Zafar 7 was an Iranian offensive during the Iran-Iraq War. The Iranian military operation was successfully led by Lieutenant General Ali Sayad Shirazi where Iran won the battle and also the ensuing Iraqi counter-attack. However, Iran faced technical setbacks with massive economic and military sanctions in place against her. As a result of those setbacks, Iran was unable to reach its objective of capturing Sulaymaniyah.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
