Historical Background: On 22 September 1981, Iran began their first offensive against Iraq, in order to break the Siege of Abadan.  A combined arms force of 30,000–40,000 troops attacked the Iraqi forces in a wide front around the Karkheh river in Khuzestan province, Iran, aiming for the road towards Basra, Iraq. The Iranians used their regular army supported by Revolutionary Guard infantry, the former using small groups of armored vehicles with full artillery and air support. The operation convinced Iraq that Basra was under attack, consequently, they did not reinforce their troops surrounding Abadan.

  Two days later, Iran began to carry out their main offensive against Abadan. During the night, the Iranians infiltrated a force of 20,000–30,000 troops across the Bahmanshir River towards the Iraqi forces on the east bank of the Karun River around Abadan. The Iraqis failed to carry out adequate reconnaissance to discover the infiltration. The main attack was preceded by the Iranian air force carrying out airstrikes against the Iraqi troops between the Bahmanshir and the east bank of the Karun. Due to Iranian air superiority, the Iranians drove the counterattacking Iraqi jets away.

 

  Briefing: Our intelligence through monitoring movements of military forces and espionage discovered a large offensive about to happen on September 26, around midnight, the Iranian planning to surprised the Iraqi army by attacking them from three sides.  The attack will feature several bombers, thousands of ground troops along with the 92nd armed division with several armored vehicles and tanks.
