Occupation of Iran in World War 2

On the northern front, the USSR acted with overwhelming power.  Bombers attacked the city of Maku, while ground troops headed towards the city.  Iranian forces hurriedly got into defensive positions, but reports of soviet troops in the rear caused vast confusion and a withdrawal south.  Soviet seaborne offensives were launched at Bander-I Pahlavi, which included a accidental soviet attack by the red air force one their own ships.  However, the Iranians were unable to hold back the Russian hordes.
