The bitter days of Iraqi ballistic missile attack to Tehran

The Iran-Iraq War, which lasted from 1980 to 1988, was one of the most devastating conflicts in Middle Eastern history. The war, fueled by territorial disputes and ideological differences, saw both countries engage in brutal military operations, resulting in over a million casualties on both sides. One of the most significant events of the war was the Iraqi ballistic missile attack on Tehran, the capital of Iran.The Iran-Iraq War officially began on September 22, 1980, when Iraqi forces launched a full-scale invasion of Iran, capturing several border towns and cities. The initial Iraqi offensive was met with stiff resistance from the Iranian military, which launched a counteroffensive and pushed the Iraqis back across the border. Over the course of the next eight years, the war would see a series of offensives and counteroffensives, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
