In the Iran-Iraq War one of the perceived turning points of the war for the Iranians was the recapture of the port city of Khorramshahr from the Iraqis on May 24, 1982. The Iraqis had captured the city early in the war on October 26, 1980. The successful retaking of the city was part of Operation Bait-ul-Moqaddas.

Description of the battle The city remained in Iraqi hands until April of 1982, when the Iranians launched Operation Jerusalem to recapture the Khuzestan province. The first attack (April 24 to May 12) consisted of 70,000 Pasdaran (members of Iran's military, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) and succeeded in pushing the Iraqis out of the Ahvaz-Susangerd area. The Iraqis withdrew back to Khorramshahr and, on May 20th, launched a counter attack against the Iranians, which was repulsed. The Iranians then launched an all out assault on Khorramshahr, capturing two of the defense lines in the Pol-e No and Shalamcheh region. The Iranians gathered around the Arvand river, surrounding the city and, thus, beginning the second siege. The Iranians finally recaptured the city on May 24th after two days of bitter fighting.

After the battle In re-taking the city, the Iranians captured some 19,000 soldiers from a demoralized Iraqi Army. Over 2,000 of these prisoners were executed to retaliate for the rape of several Iranian women in city at the beginning of the war. As a result, the Iraqis now know May 24th as “Martyr’s Day”, although the Iranians celebrate this day as the Liberation of Khorramshahr.
