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:
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
